Section 7-206. Testing of voting and ballot counting machines

1. The state
  board of elections shall test every voting machine of  a  type  approved
  after  September  first,  nineteen  hundred  eighty-six and every ballot
  counting machine to insure that each  such  machine  functions  properly
  before such machines may be used in any election in this state.
    2.  Such  testing shall include, but not be limited to, a verification
  of the authenticity  and  integrity  of  the  resident  vote  tabulation
  programming  in open, encrypted, compiled, assembled, or any other form,
  in each voting machine of such types, by  comparison  of  such  resident
  vote  tabulation  programming  with  the  programming  which  was in the
  machine of such type which was approved for use in this  state  and  the
  recording  of  at  least eight hundred votes on each such voting machine
  and a sufficient number of votes on each such ballot  counting  machine,
  by  a method which may be mechanical or electronic, to determine if such
  machine accurately records such votes.
    3. At least annually, the board of elections of each county  in  which
  any  such  voting or ballot counting machines are in use shall test each
  such machine in a manner prescribed by  the  state  board  of  elections
  under  conditions  supervised  by  such  state  board.  Such tests shall
  include, but not be limited to the tests required by subdivision two  of
  this section.
