Minimum Standards. The Administrator's procedures shall establish minimum standards, consistent with law and these regulations, for the safe and secure storage of all records. Local Compliance. Except as provided in §B(2) of this regulation, each local board shall comply with the minimum standards. If local conditions prevent compliance with one or another of the minimum standards, an election director may apply to the State Administrator for a variance from that standard. The State Administrator may grant a variance, but only to the extent consistent with all requirements of law. Off-Site Storage. A local board may store records off site as long as the location meets the minimum standards.
