notices;

programming and testing of voting equipment, optical scanning equipment, and
electronic poll books;

scanning equipment, and electronic poll books while being moved to and from
polling places;
(6) postage and
envelopes, including those for advance by-mail ballots;
(7) rental and security of polling places,
clean-up and similar expenses incurred in the provision of voting
places;
(8) cost of poll books,

(b) The cost of printing of ballots shall be

(c) The costs of voting places and election
board members shall be borne equally by the subdivisions of government for
which elections are conducted at such voting places.
(d) Where voting places are required for one

places shall be apportioned only among the subdivisions for which elections are
conducted.
