Marking Utensils

There is no specific recommendation for a marking utensil but it should be an ink pen that dries quickly. No markers.

Seal & Port Blocker Requirements

The VxScan, ballot box, and VxAdmin and VxCentralScan cases should be secured with tamper evident numbered pull-tight seals like this: https://www.cambridgeseals.com/heavy-duty-pull-tight-seal VxAdmin and VxCentralScan micro SD slots should be secured with transfer tamper evident sticker seals like this: https://www.amazon.com/Transfer-Evident-Security-Warranty-Numbers/dp/B07GPGGQ5Y/ VxAdmin and VxCentralScan laptop ports should be blocked with port blockers like this: https://a.co/d/5zHubox
