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:

2. Set up the scanner:

Be sure to assemble VxScan in an area of the room that allows for voter privacy as voted ballots are inserted into the 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.
