Elections Dept. to test voting machine accuracy on Oct. 7
Collin County Election officials will hold a public test of voting machines " known as a logic & accuracy test " on Friday, Oct. 7, 2022, at 10 a.m., at the county's Elections Department, 2010 Redbud Blvd., Suite 102. The public is invited.
Texas law requires public testing of the voting machines be done before and after every election to ensure the machines count votes accurately. The purpose of the logic and accuracy test is to ensure the voting systems are calibrated and count correctly for the upcoming mid-term election.
In addition to the required test on Oct. 7, the Elections staff is also inviting the public to attend and perform a similar test of their own by casting ballots using the voting equipment, and verifying the accuracy of the voting system by comparing a hand count of the ballots cast against the vote totals counted on the voting equipment.
