How are precincts selected for the voting system review?
At the canvass of the state primary, the county canvassing board in each county must set the date, time, and place for the post election review of the general election. At the canvass of the state general election, the county canvassing boards must select the precincts to be reviewed. For a county with fewer than 50,000 registered voters, at least 2 precincts must be selected. A county with between 50,000 and 100,000 registered voters must select at least 3 precincts. A county with more than 100,000 registered voters must select at least 4 precincts. The precincts must be selected by lot at a public meeting, and at least one precinct selected in each county must have had more than 150 votes cast at the general election (M.S. 206.89, subd. 2).
