Lancaster County officials voted for the modern, secure new technology over competitors on June 26. Final approval came July 3, and system delivery was complete by July 10.
“Not only did we choose a system that met every standard we set, acceptance testing is underway and should be finished within the week,” said Randall Wenger, Lancaster County Election Director. “I hear there are counties that made agreements with other companies weeks or months earlier and are still waiting on delivery.”
“Hart’s prompt delivery allows us to make the Commonwealth’s recommended August 1 date for completion of acceptance testing. We’ll be ready for our November 5 election,” Wenger said.
“Lancaster County set high standards for new election technology. We appreciate their choice of Verity and their continued confidence in Hart,” said Phillip Braithwaite, President and CEO of Hart InterCivic, a U.S. company with more than 100 years of experience providing election solutions.
“We are working closely with elections staff to ensure the transition is smooth and efficient and that Verity’s advancements best serve the voters. We’ve partnered with the County since 2006 and look forward to many more years of supporting Lancaster County’s needs.”
Wenger praised Hart for the company’s responsive customer service over the years and the reliability of Hart’s legacy voting system. “Our prior system served us well, and we have had a great experience for the past 13 years. We are looking forward to new functionality.”
