Data Processing Board

The data processing board shall consist of one member of the county election commission representing the majority party and one member of the county election commission representing the minority party, the programmer employed by the election commission or supplied by the manufacturer, and as many trained personnel as will be required to operate the computer and to move the ballots in and out of the computer room. In large counties, or in long elections, the county election commission may elect to have one duplication board team in the computer area to handle any ballots damaged by the computer or the ballot tab. The count of a precinct will begin as each such precinct is received from the processing board. As each precinct is completed, appropriate entries shall be made on the data processing board log. (Fig. 6). The Data Processing Board will integrate the write-in results into the totals after the last precinct to arrive in the data processing area has been processed.
