Indiana Code Title 3. Elections § 3-12-12-18

Sec. 18. (a) A petition filed under this chapter may request that ballot cards in specified precincts that used a ballot card voting system be counted manually.  If a petition includes such a request, the recount commission may not use automatic tabulating machines to count ballot cards in the specified precincts.  Ballot cards in those precincts shall be counted manually, and the tabulation of votes must comply with IC 3-11-7.

(b) A petitioner may withdraw a request for a manual recount of ballot cards at any time after the recount commission conducts a test of the automatic tabulating machines to ascertain that the machines will correctly count the votes cast on the public question that is the subject of the recount.
