1982- First Florida County to purchase Precinct-level Optical Scanners

1992- County purchased current voting equipment

2005- County purchased Touchscreens to meet Disability Laws

• Precinct-level Optical Scanners Statewide

• ADA compliant Touchscreens for Precincts and Early Voting - No requirement for paper trail on Touchscreens

• Optical Scanners at all Early Voting Sites

• Post-Election audits of one to two percent of Precincts by hand

Our Future- Why Now? Our Future- Why Now? • ES&S will not support the Optech line of equipment (our current equipment) after 2008

• Early Voting Issues - Florida’s Results by Precinct Law (2005) - Volume of ballot styles needed (954 current estimate) - Choice between Pick & Pull or Ballot-On-Demand - Current software capacity about 50 ballot styles - Need additional Scanners (none available)

• Growth in Absentee Ballot usage necessitates additional High Speed Counters

Our Future- SolutionOur Future- Solution• ES&S’ new DS200 Digital Scanner for

Precinct-level And Early Voting• Explore Ballot-On-Demand software and printers• At least one ADA Touchscreen per Precinct and

Our Future- Requested ActionOur Future- Requested Action

• In 2005, the Orange County Voting Equipment Committee reviewed voting systems available in Florida in regard to ADA accessibility. The Committee recommended the ES&S iVontronics and Unity Software which were compatible with our Optical Scan System.

• The situation is now reversed. With our ADA Touchscreen investment of 2005, we should sole source this purchase in order to maintain our Touchscreen and Unity Software purchase.

• “County Certification” due June 30, 2007- Orange County accept State Grant Funding

- Ten Optical Scanners for Early Voting- Ballot-On-Demand Funding

- Opt out of State disposition of our Non-ADA Touchscreens- Orange County commits to Ballot-On-Demand at Early Voting
