Oct. 7—Ballots and equipment for Boulder County's upcoming general election passed the required pre-election testing earlier this week.

Representatives from the local Democratic and Republican parties took part in testing at the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder's Office and confirmed the equipment's ability to read ballots and correctly tabulate votes, according to a news release from Boulder County.

The Logic and Accuracy Test also confirmed ballots are properly printed for the election and the equipment is accurately calibrated to process ballots, the release said. Each type of ballot and all ballot styles were tested. In all, 1,240 ballots were tested, which includes 1,190 mail ballots and 50 ballots generated by ballot-marking devices.

Each piece of equipment used during the LAT has been cleared of test votes and reset to zero, ensuring the equipment is ready to count live ballots, the release said.

Results and test records are available for review at www.BoulderCountyVotes.org under the "election information" section, the release said.
