All tabulation functionality in VxAdmin is available by selecting Tally from the side menu. Insert a USB drive and select Load CVR Files to start the Cast Vote Record loading process.
To tally results, each USB drive from the precincts and VxCentralScan must be loaded. One at a time, insert the USB drives. A dialog box will pop up and show you each CVR file saved on the USB drive. Select Load next to the file (official ballots, correct number of ballots, correct time) you'd like to load.
When loaded, confirm that the presented file name, CVR count, and precinct(s) are as expected. Load CVR files from all of your scanners, VxScan and VxCentralScan.
After loading your CVR file(s), select Reports from the side menu and select Unofficial Full Election Tally Report.
A preview of the report will be on screen. Select Print Report to print the report or Save Report as PDF to save the election tally to a USB drive.
The printed report should look like the image below with the election name and the VotingWorks logo.
Results may also be viewed or printed by scanner ID. Select Show Results by Batch and Scanner to view or save a .csv of the results for each scanner ID or select Unofficial Scanner xxx Tally Report to view and print a report for a specific Scanner ID.
A results file may also be saved that contains all of the vote totals separated by contest, candidate, precinct, and vote type in a .csv file format. This allows for custom report creation and/or additional analysis of the election data. To save the results in .csv format, select Reports from the side menu and select Save Results.
The .csv file can be opened in any spreadsheet software program and will display the following information. The ID fields (Contest, Selection, etc.) are internal identification numbers.
