Key details on spare ballots

The registrars of voters shall withhold and keep in the registrars of voters’ office a number
of spare paper ballots for each unique voting district. The registrars of voters shall use these
reserved ballots to make additional copies or shall provide these reserved ballots to any
polling location that requires additional paper ballots.

The registrars of voters or such registrar’s designee shall, not later than one day prior to each election, primary, or referenda, determine if there is a copy machine available at any polling location. If so, the registrars of voters or such registrar’s designee shall ensure that

• such machine can be accessed,
• that it is working, and
• that there is an adequate supply of the appropriate size paper available.

The registrars of voters or such registrar’s designee shall ensure that a few test copies are made to check that the ballots are printing properly.
