Public Test
What is a Public Test?
Before each election, the Clerk’s Office conducts thorough testing of the tabulators to ensure accurate vote tabulation on Election Day.
By law, all municipalities are required to conduct a public test of their electronic voting equipment not earlier than 10 days before each election. Pre-election testing is intended to confirm the accuracy of voting equipment programming and to bring transparency to the process. This event is considered a public meeting and must be noticed at least 48 hours prior. The public is invited to attend and observe the testing process.
Programming is verified by feeding a set of pre-marked test ballots into each machine and reviewing the results tape that is generated. An errorless count is required at the conclusion of the testing. According to Wis. Stat. 5.84(1), any anomalies identified in testing must be remedied before the equipment can be used in an election.
Following the testing of each machine, Clerk’s Office personnel securely seal the ballot box and scanner with tamper-evident seals, each marked with unique serial numbers. These serial numbers are documented during the public test. On Election Day, poll workers verify the serial numbers as they open the polls.
