	 22.464(2) Ballots. The AccuVote TSX DRE is designed to provide both visual and nonvisual ballots.
	  a.   	 Visual. The commissioner shall prepare each AccuVote TSX DRE so that the voter does not need to view more than one screen to see all of the information and choices for any office or public measure. More than one office or public measure may be included on the same screen.

	  a.   	 The commissioner shall not enable the following options:
	 (1) 	 One Click Vote. When this option is enabled, the AccuVote TSX DRE automatically cancels all of the choices made by a voter for an office if the voter selects more than the maximum number of candidates permitted.

	 (5) 	 VIBS Play All Candidates. When this option is enabled, the AccuVote TSX DRE audio ballot feature plays all of the choices for each office before the voter may select another office.
	 (6) 	 Pollworker Audio. When this option is enabled, the AccuVote TSX DRE plays a tone to alert precinct election officials when the device is ready for a voter to make choices and again when the voter has completed voting and cast the ballot.
	  b.   	 The commissioner shall enable the following options:
	 (1) 	 Confirm Ballot. When this option is enabled, the AccuVote TSX DRE prompts the voter to review choices before casting the ballot.
	 (2) 	 VIBS Race Keys. When this option is enabled, the voter may move to the next race or the previous one without hearing all choices for the race currently displayed.
	 (3) 	 Warn Undervotes. When this option is enabled, the AccuVote TSX DRE warns the audio ballot user when the voter has made fewer than the maximum number of choices permitted for an office.
	 22.464(4) AccuView Printer Module (AVPM). In counties where the AVPM is available, the commissioner shall use this feature. For elections held on or after November 4, 2008, Iowa law requires its use. The commissioner shall provide to a recount board any information stored in the AVPM canisters as provided in subrule 26.104(1).

	 (1) 	 Print Candidate IDs. When this option is enabled, the AVPM record will include identification numbers assigned to candidates in the ballot preparation process.
