08 NCAC 04 .0305 (INSTRUCTION OF PRECINCT OFFICIALS AND VOTERS IN THE USE OF VOTING SYSTEMS. NECESSARY
Rule IS Necessary but is not based on sound, reasonably available and relevant information as major omissions exist from the Statutes referenced in the Rule
v Rule IS NOT written in a clear and unambiguous manner as definitions and procedures needed to clarify the Rule are absent
v Rule is reasonably necessary to implement and interpret State law but fails to do so by lacking information regarding the content of instructional processes proposed within the Rule
v Rule IS expressly authorized by Federal and State law but lacks compliance with section 301 of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 which is referenced in the Rule WITHOUT any content in the Rule specifying the requirements for compliance
v Rule is repetitive of the actual language of the Statutes INSTEAD of clear, orderly, direct instructions required in a Rule describing the processes intended to implement the referenced law
v Rule references requirements in the Rule but provides no content of the requirement and gives no reference as to where the information exists
v Rule is poorly constructed with minimal actual procedures given that would instruct Precinct Officials or Voters in the use of Voting Systems, the purpose of the Rule not being successfully accomplished.
Rule is NOT designed to achieve the regulatory objective in a cost effective or timely manner
