Submit a Public Comment on WINVote Certification Status

The State Board of Elections (SBE) welcomes the input of stakeholders as it weighs the future certification status of the WINVote voting equipment currently used in 30 Virginia localities. The Board has scheduled a public meeting at 11:00 a.m. on April 14, 2015, General Assembly Building, House Room D. The Department of Elections in a recent report to the Board identified serious security concerns with WINVote voting equipment, particularly with the wireless capability of the system. The report and other documents are available here elections.virginia.gov/equipment-report

The purpose of this public comment forum is to allow Virginians to submit comments on whether the Board should take action to decertify WINVote voting equipment or other action to fulfill its statutory obligation under Va. Code ยง 24.2-103 to protect the integrity of elections in Virginia.
