Boise Schools Election Coverage - Logic and Accuracy Test - August 27, 2026

The Boise School District conducted a logic and accuracy test on August 27, 2026, to verify the proper functioning of voting equipment and election programming ahead of an upcoming election. The test involved scanning 215 pre-marked test ballots, including election day, absentee, and early voting ballots, using high-speed optical scanners supplied by the vendor Hart InterCivic. The equipment, certified by the Election Assistance Commission and stored securely in an air-gapped room, was tested to ensure accurate ballot reading and vote tabulation. The results matched the expected outcomes, confirming the readiness of the voting system. No procurement decisions or contract awards were discussed during this meeting.
