VxScan Setup
Part of the Precinct System, the VxScan scans, stores, and tabulates ballots hand marked by voters or ballots printed by voters via the VxMark.
VxScan is in a tamper-evident blue container that may be rolled like a suitcase. Inside is an additional tamper-evident blue container used to store scanned ballots.
