Re: AVTS software upgrade - From 3.12 to 4.0.4



There is no rush.  Customer wants to know if it can be done and any costs involved.  They pay for all support costs currently.  They also paid for Poll book software on their laptops.  They have ten voting locations with six AVTS in each and provide ballots for the whole city in each Voting Location.  A potential of 60 different ballot styles for each location.

If they do not have an election for 2 years, why the rush to update them at this time.  I am willing to bet we will have a later release of AVTS software before 2003.

Their next scheduled election will take place November 10, 2003.  The election summary was of particular interest to the City Clerk of Barrie, John Craig, the man responsible for its purchase.  In the last election, there were a number of voters who kept touching the NEXT without voting.  It is his opinion that showing a summary of the candidates voted for would eliminate the blank vote.

 

Barrie is the only municipality in Canada using a touch screen system and as such, John Craig is asked to speak at many election functions as well as media interviews.

When is their next election?  What benefits does 4.0 provide them that they do not currently have.  What features does 4.0 give them that they need for their next election?

The City of Barrie, Ontario has seen our latest AVTS 4.0 software, and was wondering if they would be able to upgrade their Blue & White AVTS units to that version.

 

They are running Windows 98 on their current AVTS units.  So that is not a problem.

 

However, they are using Poll Book version 3.12, which is on their own Computer Systems with a external card reader connected, and creating voter cards this way.  Is Poll Book version 3.12 compatible with Ballot Station 4.0.4.  I think that this would be the only concern in doing an upgrade for them.
