Ballots and equipment to be used in the county’s upcoming June primary election last week passed a required Logic and Accuracy Test, or LAT, according to a news release from the Boulder County Elections Division.
Representatives from the local Democratic and Republican parties took part in testing at the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder's Office and confirmed the equipment’s ability to properly read ballots and correctly tabulate votes, according to the release.
The testing also confirmed ballots are properly printed for the election and the equipment is accurately calibrated to process ballots, the release stated. In all, 2,366 ballots were tested, including 50 ballots generated by the testing board using ballot marking devices, according to the release.
Each piece of equipment used during testing has been cleared of test votes and reset to zero, ensuring the equipment is ready to count live ballots for the primary election, according to the release.
Results and test records are available for review at BoulderCountyVotes.org under the Election Information section.
Boulder County voters also can visit BoulderCountyVotes.org to register to vote, check and update their voter registration, view ballot content, and learn more about local elections.
Ballots for the June 30 primary election will be mailed starting this week. Voters registered with major or minor parties can cast votes in the corresponding contests, while unaffiliated voters can cast ballots for any one political party, according to Colorado Secretary of State’s Office election information. “If an unaffiliated voter returns a ballot with votes for more than one political party, the ballot will be rejected and none of the votes will be counted,” according to the Secretary of State’s Office.
