Section 307-X-1-.08 - Voters Per Precinct

In assigning voters to voting equipment as provided by Sections 17-5A-3 through 17-5A-6, the county commission shall not be bound by the limits of 300 voters per ballot box or 600 voters per voting machine. The county commission shall provide sufficient precinct counters, or ballot boxes where central counters are used, to ensure that all qualified voters shall be given an opportunity to vote without undue delay. There shall be at least one precinct counter, or ballot box where central counters are used, for each 2400 expected voters or fraction thereof. The number of expected voters shall be the largest number of votes cast in that precinct during the last four years. If the manufacturer's recommended maximum number of ballots is less than 2400, then that recommended number shall be used to determine the number of counters.
