CONTINUITY PLAN

Fails to scan

Use spare PCOS

Use PCOS of another precinct

Wait for other PCOS to complete process inits precinct

Get PCOS and reconfigure for next precinct

Scan ballots

If all PCOS fails

Manual counting

Get PCOS and reconfigure for next precinct

Use removable storage device of defective

PCOS and let replacement PCOS print ER

If all PCOS fails

Manual counting

CONTINUITY PLAN

Able to print ER but fails to transmit

Go to nearest precinct or polling centerwhich has a functioning transmission

facility Use removable storage device of defective

PCOS and let the functioning facilitytransmit precinct results
