After pressing the “OK” button, the polling official can vote as a normal voter. Report 

immediately if any inaccuracies are found in the ballot. Upon casting vote, the test voting result 

will be stored in a Test Voting Tally, which will not influence the tally for other voting result. 

The VOTE-TRAKKER™ will return the Test Voting Card to the polling official and the card 

can be used as long as the corresponding database is active in the VOTE-TRAKKER™.
