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. Verity Scan deposits scanned ballots into its ballot box for secure storage.
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.
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.
