(a) Test results;

(b) A zero report;

(c) Signed verification of the version numbers;

(d) Signed certification of the official logic and accuracy test;

(e) A test log of:

(i) The number of accessible voting units to be used in the primary or election; and

(ii) The electronic duplication system, if electronic duplication will be used in the primary or election; and

(f) Any other documentation requested by the secretary of state representative in advance of the official test.

(3) Copies of the certification documents must be retained by the secretary of state and the county auditor. All test results, test ballots, the signed certification, and a copy of the tabulation programming or the actual tabulation equipment must be kept in secure storage until the equipment is used for a primary or election. The secure storage must use numbered seals and logs that will detect any inappropriate access.

(4) If, for any reason, changes are made to the ballot counting programming after the official logic and accuracy test, an emergency logic and accuracy test must be conducted pursuant to WAC 434-335-310.
