Santa Ana, CA April 24 , 2009 – Accuracy testing of Orange County’s voting system will take place May 12, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. for the May 19, 2009 Statewide Special Election. The Logic and Accuracy test is required by law to be performed prior to each election. Logic and Accuracy tests will include proofing the programming of the ballot, each ballot style and each contest position on the ballot.

 

Tests are also conducted after Election Day during the canvass period. Pursuant to California Elections Code 15360 (d) this serves as public notice that we will be conducting a random draw of 1% of our precincts to be used in a manual tally of votes cast. This manual tally is used to verify the electronic tally of our voting system and the vote-by-mail tally system. The random draw will occur on Thursday, April 30, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.

 

All previous tests of the voting system have proven it to be 100% accurate.

 

Both processes are open to the public.
