PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE PUBLIC LOGIC AND ACCURACY TESTING OF VOTING AND TABULATING EQUIPMENT

The Sarasota County Canvassing Board will convene at the office of the Supervisor of Elections, 2001 Adams Lane, Sarasota, Florida, at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 1, 2006. The Board is convening for the logic and accuracy testing of the absentee ballot tabulating equipment, that will be used in the November 7, 2006, General, Special and Municipal elections.

Florida law requires each supervisor of elections to test the county's voting and tabulation machines prior to each election to ensure that the equipment will correctly count all votes cast. Voters are encouraged to attend and observe these logic and accuracy tests.

In accordance with the Sunshine Law of Florida, the meeting will be open to the public.

NOTE: §286.0105, Florida Statutes, states that if a person decides to appeal any decision by a board, agency, or commission with respect to any matter considered at a meeting or hearing, he or she will need a record of the proceedings, and that, for such purpose, he or she may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.
