# L\&A Overview

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.

### VxAdmin Tally Report 

Before starting the testing process, using an Election Manager Card, confirm VxAdmin does not have CVRs loaded. Select Reports from the side menu and select *`Full Election Tally Report`* to print a "zero" report.

### Test Ballot v. Official Ballot Mode&#x20;

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.&#x20;
