Section 6.25.067. Facsimile ballots at recount.

	(a)  The procedures in this section apply to voted ballots being reviewed by the director for a recount under AS 15.20.480 regarding a particular race, proposition, or question.  
	(b)  The director will set aside a ballot described in (a) of this section if, after reviewing the ballot, the director determines that  
		(1) it was marked by the voter in a manner that caused an Accu-Vote precinct tabulator to register as being unmarked on the ballot the race, proposition, or question that is the subject of the recount; and  
		(2) the ballot contains clear evidence of the voter's intent regarding that race, proposition, or question.  
	(c)  An exact copy of the relevant portion of a voted ballot described in (b) of this section will be made at the direction of the director, for substitution as a facsimile ballot. As provided in AS 15.20.480, the facsimile ballot will be counted using the rules in AS 15.15.360 for counting hand-marked ballots.  
	(d)  The original of a voted ballot for which a facsimile ballot is prepared under this section will be clearly labeled "original." A facsimile ballot prepared under this section will be clearly labeled "facsimile." After completion of the counting process, the original and the facsimile of a voted ballot will be placed in marked envelopes and the envelopes will be sealed.
