Logic & accuracy testing (L&A) is meant to ensure that every component of the voting system is operating as expected and has been configured properly for a specific election.
Testing rules vary by jurisdiction and/or state. The following functions may be useful as tests are conducted.
Before starting the testing process, confirm VxAdmin does not have CVRs loaded. Select Reports from the side menu and select Unofficial Full Election Tally Report to print a "zero" report.
VxScan and VxCentralScan can be placed into Test Ballot Mode to only accept test ballots. If official ballots are used for testing, Official Ballot Mode should be used. VxScan and VxCentralScan default to test mode after configuration.
In VxScan, insert an Election Manager Card, select Configuration from the side menu, and select the correct mode.
In VxCentralScan, insert an Election Manager Card, select Admin in the upper right corner, and select the Toggle to Official Ballot Mode.
TEST will be listed next to any CVR file being uploaded from ballots scanned in Test Ballot Mode. OFFICIAL will be listed next to any CVR file being uploaded from ballots scanned in Official Ballot Mode.
