16-603. Inspection of ballots by party
representative
A mutually agreed upon number of representatives and alternates of each political
party represented on the ballot by a party designation and column, appointed in the
manner provided by section 16-590, may remain inside the voting area from the time the
polls are closed, and, without unduly hindering or delaying the count, one representative
from each party at a time may inspect the ballots as they are read and the tally lists as
the votes are tallied or counted, but the ballots and tally lists shall at all times
remain under the personal charge and keeping of the election officers and shall not be
permitted to pass from their hands.
