1. (a) Before the opening of the polls, each precinct election board shall:

   1. (1) compare the ballot label on each electronic voting system with the sample ballot to see that it is correct;
   2. (2) see that the system records zero (0) votes for each candidate and on each public question; and
   3. (3) see that the system is otherwise in perfect order.
2. (b) After the system is in perfect order for voting, the precinct election board may not permit the counters to be operated except by voters in voting. The board then shall certify that the ballot labels and the sample ballots are in agreement. Forms shall be provided for certification, and the certification shall be filed with the election returns.
