System Overview
Scope of the Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2 Voting
System
This section provides a description of the scope of Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2
voting system components:
• EMS – Results Tally and Reporting (RTR) application
• ImageCast Central (ICC) application
• ImageCast Evolution (ICE) firmware/hardware
• ImageCast X (ICX) firmware/hardware
The Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2 Election Management System (EMS)
represents a set of N-Tier software applications (EMS, RTR, Adjudication) for pre-
voting and post-voting election project activities that are applicable to jurisdictions of
various sizes and geo-political complexities.
The Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2 ICC system consists of a central high-speed
optical scan ballot counter (tabulator) called the ICC Ballot Counter and is used for
processing absentee ballots (such as vote by mail). This ballot counter unit is based
on commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware coupled with custom-made ballot
processing application software. It is used for high-speed centralized scanning and
counting of paper ballots.
The Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2 ICE system employs a precinct-level optical
scan ballot counter (tabulator) in conjunction with an external ballot box. This
tabulator is designed to mark and/or scan paper ballots, interpret voting marks,
communicate these interpretations back to the voter (either visually through the

integrated LCD display or audibly via integrated headphones) and, upon the voter’s
acceptance, deposit the ballots into the secure ballot box.
The Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2 ICX ballot marking platform is used for
creation of paper Electronic Mobile Ballots. These ballots are later scanned and
tabulated by the ICC optical ballot counter and/or scanned, verified, and cast by the
ICE.

Certification Test Results Summary
Functional Testing Summary
The tests run on the Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2 voting system included a
Volume test and an ICX two hour battery test.
Volume Test
An election was run utilizing:
• 20 ICX polling place devices
• 20 ICE polling place device
• 1 ICC DR-g1130 environment
• 1 ICC DR-x10c environment
• 1 EMS (EED, Adjudication, RTR)
The following steps were completed with results as noted:
1. Polls were opened in accordance with California Use Procedures.
Zero reports for all devices were printed and verified.
No issues were encountered.
2. The 20 ICX polling place ballot marking devices were utilized to create 50 voted
ballots each.
One ICX encountered a screen freeze situation, was restarted, and continued
without further issue. No other issues were encountered.
3. The 20 ICE polling place scanning devices were utilized to scan 1,000 voted
ballots each, for a total of 20,000 ballots.
No issues were encountered.
4. The ICC central count location scanning devices were utilized to scan the same
20,000 voted ballots, plus the 1,000 ballots generated from the ICXs.
No issues were encountered.
5. Polls were closed in accordance with California Use Procedures, including
printing results from ICE and ICC, removing results media to transfer results
back to EMS, and then shutting down devices.
No issues were encountered.
6. Post Election results were consolidated and reported based on the upload of
results to EMS from all tabulating (ICE and ICC) units.

Two Hour Battery Test, ICX
An election was run utilizing:
• 1 ICX polling place device, with printer.
The following steps were completed with results as noted:
1. Polls were opened in accordance with California Use Procedures.
Zero report was printed and verified.
No issues were encountered.
2. The ICX polling place scanning device was utilized to scan voted ballots for two
hours on battery power, scanning one ballot every 10 minutes.
At the two hour mark, the ICE device was at 52% battery strength.
3. Polls were closed in accordance with California Use Procedures.
No issues were encountered.
The ICX environment met the criteria of staying powered for a minimum of two
hours on its backup battery supply.
Evaluation of Testing
The above tests were conducted using the executables created in the EAC Trusted
Build, in association with the appropriate hardware versions as declared during the
national certification project for the Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2 voting system.
No issues were encountered during the testing, with both tests producing expected
results.
As per the direction given by the California Secretary of State, this volume and ICX
two hour battery testing report does not include any recommendation as to whether
or not the system should be approved.
