Brief
Following are the results of a 1.94w firmware test
performed in conjunction with GEMS
1.5.10. The database used for testing 1.95d firmware is used with two vote
centers, each containing a unique report precinct and rotated ballot, where both
rotated ballots belong to the same ballot style. The ballot style contains
3 rotating races.
The AccuBasic download file is set to 194us.abo and the
firmware version to 1.94 in AccuVote Options in GEMS. AccuVotes are
programmed to return overvoted, blank voted and undervoted ballots as well as
blank voted cards, with override parameters printed for undervoted ballots and
blank cards only.
Outcome
Two vote centers downloaded
successfully. Memory card labels contained the expected information.
The vote center name neither
appears on the memory card label nor on reports (as expected).
The Unvoted and Fully Vote Ballot Tests were
performed as follows. The Unvoted Ballot Test successfully accepted an
unvoted ballot fed in four orientations and rejected a fully voted ballot,
correctly identifying all marked positions. The Fully Voted Ballot Test
successfully accepted a fully voted ballot fed in four orientations and rejected
an unvoted ballot, correctly identifying all unmarked positions. Candidate
marks/blanks in both reports were reported in the ballot order (not definition
order).
A total of 21 ballots were fed with each memory
card in Pre-Election and Election Mode. Candidates as well as ballot
return statistics tallied correctly in both election modes and were correctly
reported in the GEMS Election Summary report upon upload. Candidates were
listed in the Zero Total and Election Results reports in the order defined in
GEMS. Election Mode reports were short.
Ballots were returned according to ballot return
parameters and override messages printed on the AccuVote tape as expected.
Ballot return messages included the center-truncated race title. Ballot
return parameters were correctly listed in the long reports.
