keyboard and earphone with the VOTE-TRAKKER™ so that the local election judge can plug
them in at the polling place. Ship a UPS back up system for each VOTE-TRAKKER™ if
necessary.
When the machine arrives at the polling place, polling official will perform the same testing
procedure outlined in the Section 4.1.3 to ensure that the machine is functional. Plug in the ADA
voting keyboard and the earphones.
NOTE: Once ballots have been stored within VOTE-TRAKKER™, the machine should be
locked and tagged with tamper-obvious labels and ties. Any subsequent opening of the
machine should be documented and signed by polling workers and countersigned by
supervisor or overseeing body.
