Public Accuracy Test

Have you ever wondered about how the voting systems work in Minnesota? What would you tell someone who asked you to explain the processes in place to keep our elections secure? How do we know our voting machines work as intended? Come find out for yourself. All Minnesota counties and municipalities that are conducting elections are required to administer public accuracy tests of the computer programs and voting systems to be used at least three days before the equipment is used. Public Accuracy Tests must be open to all members of the public and observed by at least two election judges from different political parties. Not many people come to observe this test. Let's make this year different! Our election systems are precious.
