Boulder County equipment testing completed for November 7 Election

Boulder County, Colo. – Ballots and equipment to be used in the county’s upcoming Coordinated Election passed a required Logic and Accuracy Test (LAT) held this week.


Participants representing local municipalities and districts took part in testing at the Boulder County Clerk & Recorder's Office and confirmed the equipment’s ability to properly read ballots and correctly tabulate votes.


The LAT also confirmed ballots are properly printed for the election and the equipment is accurately calibrated to process ballots. Each type of ballot and all ballot styles were tested. In all, 730 ballots were tested, including 680 mail ballots and 50 ballots generated from ballot marking devices.


Each piece of equipment used during the LAT has been cleared of test votes and reset to zero, ensuring the equipment is ready to count live ballots for the Coordinated Election.


Results and test records are available for review at www.BoulderCountyVotes.org under this year’s 2017 Election Information section.
