Precinct (VxScan + VxMark) Checklist
This Precinct Checklist is appropriate for any precinct using both VxMark as an accessible ballot-marking device and VxScan as a precinct scanner. The equipment is best tested together, as they need matching configurations and will be used together at the precinct. At this point in logic and accuracy testing, both VxScan and VxMark should already be configured.
