AccuPoll Receives Certification for Electronic Voting System in Louisiana

AccuPoll to Publicly Demonstrate System at Events Across State April 26-28


TUSTIN, Calif. April 18, 2005. -- AccuPoll, Inc. (OCTBB: ACUP), a developer of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems, today announced the receipt of state certification for its voting system in the state of Louisiana. The designation marks yet another state where AccuPoll’s electronic voting system featuring a voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) is now available. AccuPoll has also been extended an invitation to participate in public demonstrations of certified voting systems across the state April 26-28.

“We appreciate the opportunity the Committee gave us to demonstrate how our system fully complies with Louisiana voting standards,” said Frank Wiebe, President of AccuPoll. “We look forward to presenting our system to local election officials from across the entire state later this month.”

As a result of certification, AccuPoll will be eligible to market their voting system throughout Louisiana and continue participation in the state’s RFP process. The state is expecting to receive more than $37 million in federal funds appropriated under the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), with more than 90% of these funds earmarked for the replacement of the state’s outdated lever and electronic voting machines.
