The provisions of this section apply, in lieu of sections 50.1A to 50.12, to any precinct for those elections at which voting is conducted by means of an electronic voting system and the ballots are to be counted at a counting center.
1. At the time for closing the polls, or as soon thereafter as all persons entitled under section 49.74 to do so have cast their votes, the precinct election officials in each precinct where an electronic voting system or an electronic tabulating system is in use shall secure the system against further voting. The precinct election officials shall certify the number of declarations of eligibility signed as required by section 49.77, and record that number on the tally sheet with the number of special, unused, spoiled, and unvoted ballots cast, with each number recorded separately. The numbers shall be used to determine whether the number of ballots cast as recorded in the electronic precinct reports varies from the number of declarations of eligibility. If so, that fact shall be reported in writing to the commissioner by the counting center officials, together with the number of ballots varying from the number of declarations of eligibility and the reason for the variance, if known.
2. The precinct election officials shall affix a seal upon the ballot container. The precinct election officials shall then each affix their signatures to a statement attesting that the requirements of this section have been met and the time the ballot container is removed from the precinct polling location for delivery to the counting center pursuant to section 52.37. The statement shall be returned to the commissioner at the counting center with the ballot container and shall accompany the ballots through the counting process.
