Part of the Precinct System, the VxScan scans, stores, and tabulates ballots hand marked by voters or ballots printed by voters via the VxMark.
VxScan is in a tamper-evident blue container that may be rolled like a suitcase. Inside is an additional tamper-evident blue container used to store scanned ballots.
The VxScan should be set up on its own table and the table should be located somewhere between the privacy booths and the exit to the polling place. VxScan can be set up through the following steps:

4. Ensure ballot bag is sealed into the scanner with one seal on each latch.
