What is the eScan?
The eScan unit is the precinct-based, digital paper ballot scanner that is fully integrated with the other components of the Hart Voting System. After marking a paper ballot, the voter feeds it directly into the eScan unit. The ballot image is stored as a Cast Vote Record (CVR) on a Mobile Ballot Box. (MBB) flash memory card that can be retrieved and tabulated by Hart’s Tally application. The eScan unit’s capabilities include functionality to reject overvoted, undervoted, and blank ballots, thereby providing voters with the opportunity to correct mismarked ballots before they are cast at the precinct.
