About Our Voting Equipment

Thousands of 2020 election audits and recounts have validated the accuracy and reliability of results and confirmed the integrity of Dominion's technology.

  • As part of the federal Voting System Manufacturer Testing & Certification program, Dominion submits its voting systems for certification by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (“EAC”).
  • Dominion voluntarily provides access to its voting machine equipment and information using independent Voting System Test Labs accredited by the U.S. federal government, as well as to state testing and certification authorities.
  • U.S. voting systems are designed and certified by the federal government to be closed systems that do not rely on Internet connectivity for use. State and local requirements also serve to maintain voting machine air gaps for security.
  • All Dominion systems are capable of producing paper ballots or paper records. ​
  • Laws and processes exist to ensure that only trained and authorized personnel have physical access to voting systems.
  • Fractional or "weighted" voting does not exist in any Dominion system.

  • Before every election, local officials typically conduct public Logic & Accuracy testing to demonstrate that their voting equipment is properly working.
