1.1.2. GEMS overview
The GEMS consists of:
•
GEMS software
•
AccuVote-OS or AccuVote-TS units
•
memory cards used by AccuVote-OS or AccuVote-TS units
•
AccuFeeds for the processing of large volumes of absentee or early voting ballots
•
ballot boxes installed with AccuVote-OS units
•
documentation
GEMS provides a full range of functions necessary for preparing and conducting an election,
including:
•
defining jurisdictional information
•
defining race and candidate information
•
creating ballot artwork
•
creating and printing election results reports
•
tailoring AccuVote-OS acceptance parameters
•
running a test election
•
running a live election
•
generating audit information
•
defining system administration parameters
The AccuVote-OS optically scans paper ballots, maintaining a running tally on its memory card
until an
AccuVote Ender card is processed at election close. This card electronically locks the
unit and automatically generates a report of the voting center’s election results. Absentee ballots
may optionally be counted after polling ballots at each precinct. Additional results reports can be
printed on the AccuVote-OS once the election has been closed.
The AccuVote-OS memory card is initially programmed with all voting center and ballot
information. The memory card is loaded with the voting center’s election results while ballots are
counted. Election results may be transmitted to election central using
GEMS . GEMS provides
current consolidated election results and statistics, both online and in printed form as results are
received.
Large volumes of absentee or early voting ballots may be centrally counted on AccuVote-OS
units. These units do not require memory cards, ballot results being directly updated to the
GEMS precinct counters.
Ballots counted on polling AccuVote-OS units automatically drop into one of two compartments in
the ballot box, depending on the ballot selection criteria specified in GEMS. The AccuVote-OS is
sealed into the ballot box on election day and all ballot box compartments are locked.
