A “Logic and Accuracy” test of ballot tabulating equipment used in San Juan County for the Feb. 12 special election is scheduled for Jan. 9.

The test works by tallying the results of a prepared set of ballots to see if the results match the votes cast. The test will take place at 10 a.m. in the Elections Office located at 55 Second Street, Suite A, in Friday Harbor.

The test is performed before every election to ensure that tabulation hardware and software equipment are compliant with Washington State rules and will accurately count the votes.

All interested members of the public are invited to observe.
