For Immediate Release: September 18, 2014
Public Testing of Electronic Vote Tabulation System
The Montgomery County Board of Elections will conduct a public test of the tabulation of voting units on Thursday, October 9, at 10:00 a.m. This test will take place at 18753 N. Frederick Avenue, Suite 107 in Gaithersburg.
This is a parallel test of the voting system, which means that the test will occur on randomly selected voting equipment that is ready for use during early voting, beginning on October 23, and on Election Day, November 4. Participants in the test will mark both paper ballots and electronic voting equipment and the results will be compared to each other.
To sign up to attend the public test, call 240-777-8562.
