Public Demonstration of Voting Equipment

Location
WEC Office, 212 E. Washington Ave., Third Floor, Madison

There will be a Voting Equipment Review Panel Meeting and Public Demonstration of Election Clear Ballot’s ClearVote 1.4 Voting System at the above times and place. This system is being tested and considered for approval by the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

The WEC is testing three pieces of Clear Ballot equipment:

  • ClearCast (polling place scanner and tabulator)
  • ClearCount (central count electronic tabulator, election results management and auditing)
  • ClearDesign (election management system responsible for ballot design and layout)
  • ClearAccess (ADA-compliant ballot-marking device)

The Wisconsin Voting Equipment Review Panel will meet at the above time and place to view a demonstration of the system and provide feedback of the system to WEC staff.

Under Administrative Code Chapter 7, the Commission may use a panel of local election officials and electors to assist in the review of the voting system. The WEC is asking the Voting Equipment Review Panel to serve this purpose. Input from the review panel will be made part of staff’s recommendation that will be submitted to the Commission for consideration at its December 12, 2017, meeting.

The Public Demonstration and Voting Equipment Review Panel meeting are open to the public.
