Sec.9-241-18. Hardware standards. Overvote protection

In accordance with Conn. Gen. Stat. § 9-242 the DRE voting system shall permit each voter to vote in an election: (1) for all the persons and offices for whom the voter is lawfully entitled to vote, (2) for as many persons for an office as the voter is entitled to vote, and (3) on any ballot referenda on which the voter is entitled to vote. In accordance with Conn. Gen. Stat. § 9-242 the DRE voting system shall be designed and constructed in a manner which prevents the voter from casting more than the number of votes to which he or she is legally entitled. This includes: (1) the casting of more than one ballot in an election, (2) the casting of more than one vote for a candidate for a single position office, (3) the casting of a vote for more than the permitted number of candidates in a multiposition office, (4) the casting of more than one vote for a candidate who is nominated by more than one party for the same office, (5) the casting of a vote (including a write-in vote) for the same candidate more than once for the same office, (6) in a primary, the casting of a vote on more than one party ballot, and (7) in a referendum, the casting of a vote on a question on which the voter is not legally entitled to vote.
