Within 60 days of examining a voting system pursuant to this chapter, the examiners shall complete a report showing their findings. The report shall include a checklist containing all statutory requirements for voting systems and shall indicate whether each requirement applies to the voting system being examined and whether the voting system is compliant or not compliant. The checklist must indicate that all applicable items are compliant with statutory requirements in order for the examiners to find that the voting system may be approved for use.
(1) Accessibility reports. If interested parties are present at the examination and test and participate in accessibility testing of the equipment, the examiners shall wait a minimum of 30 days from the date of the examination and test before completing the report required by this rule so that the examiners have sufficient time to receive and review any accessibility reports submitted by interested parties pursuant to subrule 22.9(6).
(2) Approval prior to use. If the report states that the voting system has been approved for use, the voting system may be adopted for use at elections.
(3) Report filed with the secretary of state. The report shall be filed with the secretary of state. The secretary of state shall retain the vendor's application and other documents submitted pertaining to the certification as long as the voting system remains certified.
