A “Logic and Accuracy” test of ballot tabulating equipment used in San Juan County is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 2, 1:30 p.m., in the Elections Office located at 55 Second Street, Suite A, in Friday Harbor. The test is performed before every state or federal election to ensure that tabulation hardware and software are compliant with Washington state rules and will accurately count the votes. The test works by tallying the results of a prepared set of ballots to see if the results match the votes cast.

A representative of the Secretary of State’s Elections Division will be present. Interested members of the public are invited to observe.
