Sec. 25. (a) This subsection applies when the county election board provides a precinct with a printed sample ballot under section 11 of this chapter. As required by 52 U.S.C. § 21082, the inspector of each precinct shall post the samples of each of the state and local ballots provided by the county election board under this article in and about the polls. The sample ballots shall be printed on different paper than the genuine ballots.

     (b) An electronic device that is not an electronic poll book may be used at a precinct or vote center to display a sample ballot. For purposes of certification of voting systems under this article, an electronic device, the only function of which is the display of sample ballots, is not considered to be a voting system or part of a voting system.

The inspector of the precinct, or a person under the direction of the inspector, shall post a notice in and about the polls that the sample ballot for the precinct is available for review on an electronic device. The sample ballot must be made available for public inspection throughout election day.

     (d) This subsection applies to a county using vote centers when the county election board provides the vote center with an electronic form of the sample ballot under section 11 of this chapter. The inspector of the vote center, or a person under the direction of the inspector, shall post a notice in and about the polls that the sample ballots for each precinct in the county are available for review on an electronic device.
