Verity Scan - Hart InterCivic Verity Scan Polling Place Field Manual

Verity Scan

Verity Scan is a polling place-based digital scanner for scanning and casting
ballots. Verity Scan can be used with hand-marked ballots or with ballots marked
and printed using Verity Touch Writer (see page 26). Verity Scan deposits scanned
ballots into its ballot box for secure storage.
NOTE: Software startup for each unit may take several minutes, due to security and data
integrity checks that the Verity software performs. This process is included in the design of
the Verity Voting System to verify the authenticity of the software before allowing it to
operate.
vDrives are used to transfer digital ballot styles from the Verity
election definition software to Verity Scan, and to transfer voted
ballots from Verity Scan to Verity software for tabulation.
vDrives are inserted into a standard USB port located in a locked
and sealed compartment; each Verity Scan has its own vDrive.
