System Overview
Scope of the Dominion Democracy Suite 5.10 Voting
System
This section provides a description of the scope of Dominion Democracy Suite
5.10 voting system components:
• ImageCast Evolution (ICE) firmware/hardware
• ImageCast X (ICX) firmware/hardware
• ImageCast Precinct 2 (ICP2) firmware/hardware
The Dominion Democracy Suite 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 Democracy Suite ICX ballot marking platform is a solution that is used for
creation of paper Electronic Mobile Ballots. These ballots are later scanned and
tabulated by the ImageCast Central optical ballot counter and/or scanned, verified,
and cast by the ICE.
The Democracy Suite ICP2 is a precinct-based optical scan ballot tabulator that is
used in conjunction with ImageCast compatible ballot storage boxes. The system is
designed to scan marked paper ballots, interpret voter marks on the paper ballot,
and safely store and tabulate each vote from each paper ballot.
