(b) If a county chair determines that the number of precinct ballot counters and/or DRE units authorized under the formula is inadequate, he or she must acquire permission from the SOS to obtain additional machines, counters, or devices.

(c) Pursuant to federal and state law, there must be at least one accessible voting unit in each precinct. If the county has insufficient accessible voting units to allow each party to conduct a separate primary in all county election precincts, then each party will need to consolidate county election precincts in accordance with § RSA 42.009 of the Texas Election Code in order to accommodate the number of accessible voting units that can be allocated to each party by the county election officer in accordance with § RSA 51.035 of the Texas Election Code. Alternatively, the parties, with the agreement of a majority of the full membership of county commissioners court and the county election officer, may conduct a joint primary under § RSA 172.126 of the Texas Election Code.

(d) In precincts that are conducting a limited joint election for purposes of sharing a polling place and an accessible voting unit, the presiding election judge from the party whose candidate for governor received the highest number of votes in the precinct or consolidated precinct in the most recent gubernatorial general election shall deliver the device(s) containing the vote totals to the general custodian. The presiding judge of the party whose candidate for governor received the highest number of votes in the precinct or consolidated precinct in the most recent gubernatorial general election may designate the presiding judge or clerk of the other party to deliver the device(s) containing the vote totals to the general custodian.
