​​​​​​*************************

Ballots and equipment to be used in the county’s upcoming general election passed the required pre-election testing, known as the Logic and Accuracy Test (LAT), held earlier this week.

Representatives from the local Democratic and Republican parties took part in testing at the Boulder County Clerk and 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, 1,240 ballots were tested, including 1,190 mail ballots and 50 ballots generated by 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 Nov. 8 general election.

Results and test records are available for review at BoulderCountyVotes.org under the election information section.
