King and Queen Electoral Board readies equipment, ballots and testing ahead of November election
Summary
County election officials said two Ballot-on-Demand printers have been delivered and staff are preparing KNOWiNK poll pads, repairing a HART scanner, scheduling Logic & Accuracy testing and planning risk-limiting audits ahead of early voting that begins Sept. 20, 2024.
Diane C. Klausen, the county’s General Registrar, told the Electoral Board of King & Queen County on Aug. 13 that two Ballot-on-Demand printers have been delivered and will be used to print Early Voting ballots.
Klausen said staff are preparing equipment for Early Voting and satellite sites, including KNOWiNK Poll Pads, and are arranging repairs to a HART ballot scanner so machines are ready when Early Voting begins Sept. 20, 2024. She noted that Early Voting in the county commences Friday, Sept. 20, 2024.
The board set plans for Logic & Accuracy testing to take place in mid-September; Klausen said she will notify the Electoral Board and county party chairs of the exact date and time once scheduled. The registrar also reviewed preparations for risk-limiting audits to occur after the November General Election and said more specific training and procedures will be discussed at the Sept. 10 meeting.
Klausen described the KNOWiNK Poll Pads Users Group as a resource for information-sharing among general registrars in Virginia and beyond, intended to improve polling-place operations and technology use.
The board finalized the quantities of ballots to be ordered for each precinct and said Early Voting ballots will be produced using the new Ballot-on-Demand printers. No vote tallies or motions were recorded for these preparations beyond administrative confirmation of equipment delivery and planning.
