VxScan Setup

Part of the Precinct System, the VxScan scans, stores, and tabulates paper ballots hand marked by voters or ballots printed by voters via a ballot marking device.

VxScan has three primary components: the scanner in a hard case, the collapsible ballot box, and an uninterruptible power supply.

VxScan Setup

VxScan can be set up through the following steps:

  1. Set up the ballot box:

Straps when closed
Fastening strap to lid
Tightening strap to lid
Straps for set up
Box fully expanded
Box interior when expanded
Lifting the lid
Lid clicked into place

2. Set up the scanner:

Case slid onto ballot box
Case opened on ballot box
Pressing the security bolt down
Sealing the poll worker door
Wrapped power cable
Power cable plugged into scanner

Auxiliary Bin

VxScan has an auxiliary bin that can be used to for holding voted ballots when necessary. Most often this would be used in an emergency when the tabulator is not accepting ballots.

To open the auxiliary bin, push the handle down and pull the bin towards you. Stop at the mid-way point. Seal the auxiliary bin when in use.

To verify the bin is empty or to remove the ballots from the auxiliary bin, push the handle down and pull the bin all the way towards you.
