Automated Tracking System
 
Security Specifications

 
Integral to the ATS is a means of sealing the iVo to help detect tampering. The security steps include use of uniquely identified seals on:
flash cards installed in iVo terminal
iVo booths prior to polls opening
communications packs prior to polls opening
flash cards that contain votes
sealed envelopes containing seals (new and removed) and flash cards
 
It must be recognized that the tracking of seals is not, in and of itself, sufficient to assure an honest and fair election. It is, however, another tool to be used by the county BOE to that end.
