AccuPoll Adds Utah and South Dakota to List of State Certifications; Company's Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail Voting System Now Available for Use in Multiple States.

Business Editors

TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2004

AccuPoll, Inc. (OTCBB:ACUP), a developer of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems, today announced the receipt of state certification for its voting system in the states of Utah and South Dakota. The two join a list of other states, such as Mississippi and Delaware, where AccuPoll can now market and deliver their voting system.

Additionally, the certifications indicate that electronic voting systems with a voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) are increasingly becoming more available for use in upcoming elections.

"We are working diligently towards delivering our electronic voting system to states throughout the country," said Frank Wiebe, President of AccuPoll. "With the addition of Utah and South Dakota to the list of states where we are now certified, momentum is building for the availability of electronic systems with a paper audit trail that can be personally verified by each voter as their vote is cast."

AccuPoll designed their DRE voting system from the outset to feature a VVPAT, which allows voters to verify -- via an immediately printed paper audit trail -- that their vote was accurately recorded at the time it is cast. As a result, AccuPoll's VVPAT system fully empowers voters to independently ensure that their vote is correct at the time it is cast, allowing for an accurate recount and audit capability should the need arise.

Before voting systems can be sold in their jurisdictions, most states require that voting systems be qualified under rigorous federal voting system standards and then undergo a certification process in their state. Earlier this year, AccuPoll received federal qualification for their system and is now working with state election officials across the country to certify its electronic voting systems.

"AccuPoll is aggressively pursuing state certification for our electronic voting system across the country," said Wiebe. "Though this is typically a rather time-consuming process, we have found it to be running more smoothly than anticipated."
