Seminole County Supervisor of Elections to Conduct Public Test of Voting Equipment Ahead of November

Member

The Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Office will conduct its public Logic & Accuracy (L&A) Test for the November 3, 2026, General Election.
Florida law requires Logic & Accuracy testing before every election to verify that voting equipment accurately reads, tabulates, and reports votes. During the public test, election staff cast pre-marked test ballots through each voting and tabulation device to confirm every vote is counted exactly as intended. Following Logic & Accuracy testing, the Canvassing Board will canvass the first Vote-by-Mail ballots received for the November 3rd Election.
The testing is open to the public and provides an opportunity for media to observe one of the many safeguards that helps ensure accurate election results.
