ACC Board of Elections Testing Voting Equipment Monday, Sept. 23

The Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections will be testing voting equipment Monday, September 23 at 10 am.

The Logic and Accuracy Test is for all voting equipment that will be used in the upcoming November 5th election.

Voters will decide the fate of the proposed SPLOST 2020. The public is welcome to visit and observe the testing.

It takes place at the Facilities Management Building located at 2555 Lexington, Road. For more information, call 706-613-3150.

The State of Georgia requires Logic and Accuracy Testing through specific procedures prior to every election.

As part of the process, staff with the Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections run tests on the touch-screen voting units, the check-in system, and the optical scan system for recording absentee ballots.

After a machine is tested and proven accurate, it is sealed and stored in a secure building until election day. Access to this building is tightly controlled.
