TUSTIN, CA.-- June 14, 2005 -- AccuPoll, Inc. (OCTBB:ACUP), a developer of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems, today announced the receipt of certification for its voting system in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. As a result, the company becomes the only vendor certified by the Kentucky State Board of Elections to provide an electronic voting system featuring a voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) that has been qualified under the more stringent 2002 FEC Voting System Standards.
"This is a significant event, as the Kentucky State Board of Elections has announced that all voting systems purchased with Help America Vote Act federal funds must be certified to the 2002 FEC Voting System Standards," said Frank Wiebe, President of AccuPoll. "The Commonwealth of Kentucky has already received $40 million in federal funds under the Help America Vote Act."
AccuPoll designed their DRE voting system from the outset to feature a VVPAT, which allows voters to verify "via an immediately printed paper audit trail" that their vote was accurately recorded at the time it is cast. As a result, AccuPoll's VVPAT system fully empowers voters to independently ensure that their vote is correct at the time it is cast, allowing for an accurate recount and audit capability should the need arise.
Before voting systems can be sold in their jurisdictions, most states require that voting systems be qualified under rigorous federal voting system standards and then undergo a certification process in their state.
