Both. They are sealed each evening at the satellite station and then after early voting is completed, they are sealed until election day. The containers are sealed and placed in a sealed locked cabinet. And there are armed guards surrounding the government center facility. No armed guard at the satellite facility however, but there is an alarm system.

The sealing is good.
But unless the armed guards are actually WITH the ballots and all entry and exit is recorded, they offer little protection. Vote tampering will likely be an INSIDE job, and armed guards merely controlling access to the facility are just feel-good “security theater”.
