State Board approves ES&S ExpressPoll v7.2 electronic poll book for county use
Summary
The board unanimously approved Resolution 25-05 to authorize ES&S ExpressPoll version 7.2 (to be used on Surface Go 4 tablets with Windows 11 Enterprise 2024 LTSC IoT); staff said the system met functional and security requirements in testing.
The New York State Board of Elections approved Resolution 25-05 to authorize an updated electronic poll-book system, ES&S ExpressPoll version 7.2, for use by counties.
A deputy director in the board's electronic operations unit described the update as "a pretty standard approval of electronic full book system" and said the version is an updated release of a product previously reviewed by the board. The presenter said the system will be implemented on Surface Go 4 tablets, uses Windows 11 with a long-term support lifecycle and that the system "meets all functional and security requirements, tested by our Secure Election Center." He added the Windows 11 configuration provides a longer-life cycle for counties, allowing about 10 years of support.
There was no further discussion after the presentation. The chair called for a motion, and the board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote. The chair recorded the approval as unanimous.
The resolution references ES&S ExpressPoll v7.2 (build 0.8.0.0) and the specified hardware and operating system; the board did not discuss procurement funding or deployment timelines during the meeting.
