Work simultaneously
Electionware’s multi-user functionality allows multiple authorized election personnel on a closed-network system to prepare precinct flash drives simultaneously or load results while running reports, even on different elections.
Ensure electionwide uniformity and compliance
Electionware uses one database to support multiple equipment types, manages nearly 15,000 ballot styles and just under 10,000 precincts, and supports numerous languages. The software also contains and deploys multiple levels of security configurable to jurisdiction requirements.
5 comprehensive election management
software groups
Electionware gives election administrators the software tools needed to:
- Create elections
- Design ballots
- Configure digital tabulation and accessible equipment
- Manage election results data
- Generate custom results reports
These tasks are coordinated through Electionware’s five software groups, each representing a stage of the election process.
Each group includes modules that handle specific functions for setting up an election and processing results — all of which can be configured.

System security
- The Election Management System (EMS) running Electionware is a hardened server, configured to include only the services, applications, utilities and settings required to successfully operate the system. The hardening process turns the server into a single-use device, dedicated solely to creating and operating elections.
- Electionware is protected by two-factor authentication using Windows BitLocker.
- Electionware requires usernames and passwords to launch the EMS application. The restricted user roles determine which features are accessible.
- The database server accesses data through a dedicated hardened EMS client on an air-gapped monitored network.
Physical access controls
- Officials are required to implement a strong physical and procedural security plan that limits access to Electionware to authorized personnel only.
Audit logs
- Electionware maintains an audit log that tracks and saves a record of all system processes and user actions with usernames. This audit log can be filtered by date and type of event.
- The log can be printed or saved in a variety of file formats, including .pdf, .rtf, .html, .xls and .csv. The log operates during all processes, including results processing. Optionally, log events can be viewed in real time in the output window, which displays errors in red text, warnings in blue text, and normal events in black text.
- Audit records created during election definition and ballot preparation include records for all steps in the finalization of the ballot layout. These records are date- and time-stamped and include a description of the action and the module in which the action occurred. Audit reports can be filtered by date or event type and can be sorted by ascending or descending time stamps.
- Audit logs on the EMS server, either in Electionware or the database, cannot be modified.
