measures…Public notice of the time and place of the test shall be given at least 48 hours
prior thereto….The canvassing board shall convene, and each member…shall certify to
the accuracy of the test…
(3) For electronic or electromechanical voting systems configured to tabulate vote-by-
mail ballots at a central or regional site [e.g., DS950s], the public testing shall be
conducted by processing a preaudited group of ballots so produced as to record a
predetermined number of valid votes for each candidate and on each measure and to
include one or more ballots for each office which have activated voting positions in
excess of the number allowed by law…
(4)(a)1. For electronic or electromechanical…tabulation devices which are distributed to
the precincts, all or a sample of the devices…shall be publicly tested….the sample shall
consist of a random selection of at least 5 percent or 10 of the devices for an optical scan

include for each office one or more ballots which have activated voting positions in
excess of the number allowed by law…

supervisor of elections using actual ballots that have been printed for the election. If

ballots using the ballot-on-demand technology that will be used to produce ballots in the
