(a) If at any time subsequent to the State Board's approval of a voting system, the State Board determines that the voting system fails to fulfill the criteria prescribed by statute and these rules, the State Board shall notify any purchasers and vendors of that particular voting system's failure, post such notice on its website, and give notice by mail to the chairs of all political parties and interested persons who have previously requested notification of such information, that the State Board's approval or certification of that system in New York State is to be withdrawn.

(d) Any vendor or purchaser of such voting system, and any interested person or organization, may request in writing that the State Board reconsider its decision to rescind approval or certification of the voting system.

(e) Upon receipt of such request to reconsider, the State Board shall hold a public hearing for the purpose of reconsidering the decision to rescind the approval or certification, and shall give published notice of such hearing at least two weeks in advance, including posting it prominently on its website and giving notice by mail to public advocacy organizations which have requested such notification or requested that the State Board reconsider its decision. Any interested party shall be given the opportunity to submit testimony or documentation in support of or in opposition to the Board's decision to rescind approval or certification.
