Closed Session The meeting immediately went into Closed Session pursuant to Virginia Code S 24.2-632 to conduct Logic & Accuracy (L&A) testing of election equipment to be used for the June 17, 2025, Primary election. This testing was originally scheduled for Friday, April 25, but had to be postponed due to late changes to the Ballot. Parties were notified of the time and date for L&A testing and of the postponement. No party representatives were present for testing. B. Logic & Accuracy Testing Procedure The purpose of Logic & Accuracy Testing is to remove any outdated programming (Logic) from all equipment to be deployed for the upcoming Primary and to verify each machine's accuracy. This equipment includes DS200 scanning and tabulation machines, Ballot on Demand printers, Express Vote Ballot marking devices, and electronic poll pads. Each Express Vote device was cleared of previous elections and the June 2025 Primary election was loaded. Each device was used to mark four Ballots, using both the audio prompts and visual prompts. 601 Caroline Street Suite 500 Fredericksburg, VA 22401 Email: vote@vote.redericksburgvo.gow Web: www.fredericksburgVA.gov/Vote Telephone: 540-372-1030 Fax: 540-373-8381 FXBG City of Fredericksburg Office of Voter Registration & Elections Logic & Accuracy Testing Page 2 April 28, 2025 All DS200 machines were cleared of the previous election and the June 2025 Primary election was loaded. Each DS200 was tested by feeding a "test deck" of ballots featuring the qualified candidates for each office and every possible voting situation, including over votes and under votes, through the scanner. Each test deck represents every possible combination of votes for each Precinct and the Central Absentee Precinct. The Ballots marked with the Express Vote machines were also fed through each DS200 machine. The Ballots were fed through in every possible direction. Multiple Ballots were fed through at time and were rejected, ensuring the DS200 only read one Ballot at a time. C. Open Session Upon return to Open Session and after L&A testing was completed, Chair Walker opened the meeting to discuss the results of L&A testing.
