Boulder County equipment testing completed for November 3 Election
Boulder County, Colo. -- Ballots and equipment to be used in the county’s upcoming Coordinated Election passed a required Logic and Accuracy Test (LAT) held this week.
Participants representing local municipalities and districts took part in testing at the Boulder County Clerk & Recorder's Office and confirmed the equipment’s ability to properly read ballots and correctly tabulate votes.
The LAT also confirmed ballots are properly printed for the election and the equipment is accurately calibrated to process ballots. Each type of ballot and all ballot styles were tested. In all, 917 ballots were tested, including 842 paper ballots and 75 electronic ballots on voting machines.
Each piece of equipment used during the LAT has been cleared of test votes and reset to zero, ensuring the equipment is ready to count live ballots for the Coordinated Election.
Results and test records are available for review at bouldercounty.gov/elections under this year’s Election Information
section.
