§ 2602d. Examination of checklists

(a) The checklist from the first bag shall be assigned to a team. The caller and observer, each acting independently, shall examine the checklist and determine how many voters voted at the polling place, repeating the process until they agree on a number or until they agree to disagree on a number.

(b) Then the checklist shall be examined by the tally person and the double-check person, repeating the process until they agree on a number or they agree to disagree on the number.

(c) The results obtained from the two subgroups will be compared and if they do not match, the process shall be repeated until there is agreement among all the members of the team or until team members agree to disagree.

(d) The number finally determined by a majority of team members shall be submitted to the clerk in the presence of the clerk observer team, together with an indication of the nature and extent of the disagreement. If one or more team members do not agree with the number submitted, the clerk shall note on the master list the fact that the number of people appearing as having voted on a specified checklist was subject to dispute.
