The Sebastian Canvassing Board convened at 9:00 a.m. (See agenda for meeting and canvassing
board schedule attached)
The Canvassing Board moved to the SOE warehouse to watch the ExpressVote machines that will be
used by handicapped individuals power on, calibrate and display the correct precinct, date/time, and
that the daylight savings time option was checked. Using the touch screen, test ballots were cast and
printed, then each unit was powered down.
The Canvassing Board then moved to the staging area of the DS200 machines and observed election
staff power on each unit, calibrate the screen, verify the display, and scan sample ballots to test the
counter. Staff then "closed the poll" on the machines and uploaded the test results to the modem.
Reports were printed for the Board to initial; the machines were "zeroed out" and staff witnessed the
paper ballots inserted into each precinct's DS200 storage compartment and assisted with the locking of
each machine. The lock ties were recorded. (see attached)
Upon completion of the test, the Board signed the pre -election test certification and the reports.
The counted ballots and backup tape were deposited into the vault. The backup memory stick for the
DS850 and sign -in sheets were sealed in a transfer case with seal #0011442. (see attached). The
Board adjourned.
