New Jersey to Use New Election Technology
The new Verity Voting system from Hart InterCivic is compact and easy for election workers to carry and set up. Newly certified in New Jersey, Verity offers advanced technology to jurisdictions choosing to replace outdated systems.
The Verity Voting system from Hart InterCivic is newly certified for elections in New Jersey, having passed rigorous testing at the state and federal levels.
By certifying Verity, according to the company, the New Jersey Department of State allows local jurisdictions to choose the most up-to-date election technology available in the United States.
“Verity brings choice to New Jersey,” said Phillip Braithwaite, president and CEO of Hart InterCivic, an Austin-based company.
“When counties choose Verity to replace outdated equipment, they can expect the most modern system available and the most reliable customer support in the industry.”
Federally certified in 2015, Verity is an integrated suite of software and a combination of U.S.-assembled, purpose-built devices and enterprise-grade commercial hardware, designed to make the election process easier and more secure for voters and administrators. The system supports paper ballots, and it is fully accessible to all voters, including those with disabilities.
Voters mark their ballots by hand or with the user-friendly Verity Touch Writer, an ADA-compliant paper ballot marking device that provides seamless accessibility at the polling place. Verity Scan allows voters to feed their marked ballots directly into the tabulation device and verify their cast votes.
Verity Print is an on-demand ballot printing solution that saves on the guesswork and waste of pre-printing ballots. The menu-driven device is designed specifically to be easy to learn and easy to use for poll workers. Verity Print does not impose per-click charges.
“Hart appreciates New Jersey’s confidence in our Verity system. Now the time is right for jurisdictions in the State to move forward with the all-new voting technology their voters deserve,” Braithwaite said.
Austin-based Hart InterCivic is a full-service election solutions provider, partnering with state and local governments to deliver secure, accurate, and reliable elections.
