AccuPoll Applauds Action by California State Officials in Mandating Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail.

TUSTIN, Calif. -- Pioneer in VVPAT Technology Cites Leadership of Governor Schwarzenegger, Secretary of State Shelley, and State Senators Johnson and Perata

AccuPoll (OTCBB:ACUP), a developer of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems, today issued the following statement regarding SB 1438, which mandates a voter verifiable paper audit trail (or VVPAT) for all electronic voting systems in California by 2006:

"California's public officials took a bold step toward improving confidence in our state's voting system," said Dennis Vadura, CEO of AccuPoll Inc. "For democracy to function properly, it is crucial that one's vote be accurately, securely and verifiably recorded. Governor Schwarzenegger, Secretary Shelley and Senators Johnson and Perata should be commended for their foresight and diligence towards ensuring that everyone's vote counts."

SB 1438, sponsored by Senators Perata and Johnson, was unanimously passed in both houses of the California Legislature and was yesterday signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger. Earlier this year, Secretary Shelley initiated standards for electronic voting systems that included a requirement for a voter verified paper audit trail. Also known as a VVPAT, a voter verified paper audit trail is a paper audit record that is produced as the electronic count, personally verified by the voter and serves as a permanent record for recount and auditing purposes.

"As a pioneer of electronic voting systems featuring a VVPAT and one of the few vendors that offer a federally qualified voter verified paper audit trail system, we stand by ready to meet the needs of voters and election officials throughout the state," said Vadura.

AccuPoll designed their federally qualified DRE voting system from the outset to feature VVPAT and fully comply with the stringent requirements outlined in the "Help America Vote Act of 2002" (HAVA), the sweeping legislation that outlines the future of voting systems in the United States and earmarks more than $3.9 billion for updating America's voting infrastructure.
