The following steps must be completed by the System Administrator.

Before using a USB drive, whether it's brand new or has been used in a previous election, it should be formatted.

In VxAdmin, select Settings from the side menu and select Format USB.

Confirm you want to format the USB drive by selecting Format USB and confirming by selecting Format USB again. Formatting the USB drive will delete all files on the USB drive.

VxAdmin will then confirm your USB drive is ready for use. Repeat this step for all other USB drives.
