16-574. Repair or substitution of machines; use of paper ballots

A. If a voting machine being used at an election becomes out of order during the election, it shall be repaired if possible or another machine substituted as promptly as possible. Such repairs to the voting machines shall be made only under the scrutiny of two elections board workers who shall be members of different political parties.

B. If repair or substitution of a machine cannot be made, paper ballots printed or written and of any suitable form may be used for taking votes, and for that purpose the sample ballots may be employed.
