§ 15279 Ballot Sealing After Counting
This law says that once all the votes on a ballot are read and counted, nobody can look at the ballots again; they must be put in a strong envelope and sealed, and every precinct board member must sign across the seal.
After an election night, the workers finish counting every vote on the paper ballots.
They then place all the ballots in a sturdy envelope, seal it tightly, and each board member signs over the seal so no one can open it later to look at the votes again.
