Commerce Committee conducts test votes on new electronic voting system
Summary
The Tennessee House Commerce Committee conducted two test votes to try new electronic voting features; clerks reported preliminary and final counts during the meeting and the committee adjourned after confirming the system worked.
The Tennessee House Commerce Committee ran test votes on its electronic voting system during the meeting and recorded two sets of results reported by the committee clerk.
Representative Clark Boyd was recognized and made a motion to test the board's voting system; the motion was seconded (second not identified in the transcript). Committee members then cast voice and electronic votes as staff tested the system.
The committee clerk announced an early tally: "No. Mister chairman, you have 13 yes, 6 no's, and 2 present no voting." Later, after members were allowed to change votes and the system was locked, the clerk reported the final result as "15 yes, 5 noes, and 1 present on voting." The presiding chair said the tests showed the system had not been broken and called the tests successful.
The meeting ended with a motion to adjourn, which was made and carried without recorded objection.
