Before authorizing the purchase and ordering the use of an electronic voting system under section 52.2, the county board of supervisors shall, with advice of the commissioner, determine whether counting center equipment is to be purchased as a part of the system and operated by the county, or the county will enter into an arrangement to have its ballots tabulated at a counting center maintained by another county, or whether ballots will be tabulated by devices located in each of the precincts in which the board of supervisors has ordered its use. The arrangement may be reviewed and revised, with approval of the board of supervisors, at any time. If a county acquires and operates a counting center at which ballots cast in one or more other counties are tabulated, the commissioner of the county acquiring and operating the center, or that commissioner's designee, shall be responsible for and in control of the operation of that counting center at all times, regardless of the origin of the ballots being tabulated at any particular time.
