The Boulder County Elections Division will conduct a logic and accuracy test beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 8 on ballots and equipment to be used for the 2019 Coordinated Election.
The test ensures voting system equipment properly tabulates votes. Each type of ballot and all ballot styles will be tested to ensure ballots are properly printed and to verify the scanning equipment properly reads the ballots. The test will also confirm that scanning equipment settings are properly calibrated for the ballots. Testing is open to the public.
