Monday, October 7th, 2019

A news source alerted the Secretary of State’s office that certain elements of the voting system RFP documentation were improperly redacted.

“In the spirit of good governance and transparency, we are glad to supply voters with these documents,” said Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs.  “Our new voting system, including new Poll Pads, are our most secure system to date and we are proud both Dominion and KNOWiNK will be supplying the state with voting equipment.”

The new paper-based voting systems, which include an electronic Poll Pad, ballot marking device and printer, and ballot box scanner, provides additional security and multiple checkpoints along the way for voters to confirm their ballots. 

“KNOWiNK is excited to bring Poll Pad in partnership with the State of Georgia and Dominion Voting System, to improve the voter and poll worker experience while bringing the highest level of industry security to the check-in process,” said Scott Leiendecker. 

The documents outline high level security used by new voting technology.  The products included in the new system follow industry best practices, which include additional source code quality and security procedures.  The information contained in the document does not compromise the integrity of the new voting system.
