2006 Minnesota Statutes

204C.25 DISPOSITION OF BALLOTS.
After the count and the summary statements have been completed, in the presence of all the
election judges, the counted, defective, and blank ballots shall be placed in envelopes marked or
printed to distinguish the color of the ballots contained, and the envelopes shall be sealed. The
election judges shall sign each envelope over the sealed part so that the envelope cannot be
opened without disturbing the continuity of the signatures. The number and kind of ballots in
each envelope, the name of the town or city, and the name of the precinct shall be plainly written
upon the envelopes. The number and name of the district must be plainly written on envelopes
containing school district ballots. The spoiled ballots shall be placed in separate envelopes and
returned with the unused ballots to the county auditor or municipal or school district clerk from
whom they were received.
