Company Selected over Other Leading National Vendors, Will Showcase Use of Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) to Public
AccuPoll Inc. (OTCBB:ACUP), a developer of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems, today announced that the company has been selected over other prominent national vendors to conduct Sunday's endorsement election for the Democratic Committee of Allegheny County. Members of the party will be casting their ballots using AccuPoll's federally qualified electronic voting machines, which feature a voter verified paper audit trail. "AccuPoll has long been the leader in voter verified paper audit trail electronic voting systems," said Frank Wiebe, president of AccuPoll. "The Democratic Committee of Allegheny County understands the value of a verifiable paper audit trail and the reliability of AccuPoll's federally qualified electronic voting machines. This will be an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate to Pennsylvania how a voter verified paper audit trail can help ensure voter and administrative confidence in election results." AccuPoll designed their electronic voting system to feature a voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT), which allows voters to verify -- via an immediately printed paper audit trail -- that their vote was accurately recorded at the time it was cast. As a result, AccuPoll's VVPAT system fully empowers voters to independently ensure that their vote is correct at the time it is cast, allowing for an accurate recount and audit capability should the need arise. AccuPoll's voting system also features an intuitive touch-screen user interface that guides each voter through the voting process while preventing overvotes and undervotes. Each voting station features Braille keypads, audio ballot capabilities, modifiable screen view and multiple language support, fully complying to HAVA accessibility requirements. An expected 2,600 members of the Democratic Party of Allegheny County are scheduled to cast their ballots on Feb. 27 between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the IBEW Hall, South Side, 5 Hot Metal St., Pittsburgh.

AccuPoll Holdings Rated 'Speculative Buy/4,' By Investrend Analyst Stephanie Loiacono, CFA
Business Editors
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2005-- (Investrend Research Syndicate) AccuPoll Holdings (OTCBB:ACUP) has received a 'Speculative Buy' rating from Investrend Research analyst Stephanie Loiacono, CFA, who in a Criterion report said the downside risk is fully priced in and the potential for price appreciation on positive developments is high. Noting that AccuPoll is a start-up technology company founded in 2001, which develops and markets a federally qualified electronic voting system, and although the company "has not yet generated revenue from their product," Loiacono stated "we believe the Company's technology is the right solution at the right time for verifiable voting systems."
The analyst further noted:
The market opportunity for AccuPoll's products and services is sizeable. Following problems during the Presidential elections of 2000, Congress established HAVA, which authorized $3.9 billion to upgrade election systems. We believe AccuPoll is uniquely positioned to capture market share. The Company's direct recording electronic (DRE) voting system provides a voter-verified paper audit trail ("VVPAT") that is both human and machine readable. AccuPoll's system was qualified as meeting federal voting system standards on March 25, 2004. At least seven states have passed legislation requiring a VVPAT. Since December 2004, another 13 states have introduced legislation. This feature is already designed into the Company's system, as opposed to adding a printer module as some competitors must now do. As of January 31, 2005, AccuPoll's DRE voting system was certified by nine states. These competitors enjoy greater financial resources and economies of scale than AccuPoll, which are key considerations. Still, we believe AccuPoll has a competitive edge, based on: 1) having achieved federal certification relative to the latest 2002 standards, 2) its open source/open standards technology which are transparent, secure and adaptable, 3) its Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail and 4) its multiple language capabilities.

AccuPoll Successfully Completes Qualification Testing to More Stringent 2002 Federal Voting System Standards; First VVPAT Voting System to Complete Testing to 2002 Standards Business Wire - April 07, 2005 08:00
TUSTIN, Calif., Apr 07, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AccuPoll, Inc. (OCTBB:ACUP), a developer of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems, today announced that independent testing authority SysTest Labs has completed qualification testing of the company's voting system for compliance with the 2002 Federal Election Commission Voting System Standards.
SysTest Labs will now submit testing results to the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) for review and assignment of an official federal qualification number. Assignment of a federal qualification number will allow AccuPoll to pursue certification in states that require voting system qualification under the 2002 Federal Election Commission Voting System Standards.
"This is a significant event because AccuPoll becomes the first company with a voter verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) to complete testing under the more stringent 2002 Federal Voting System Standards," said Frank Wiebe, president of AccuPoll. "States such as Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Kentucky require that voting systems be federally qualified under the new standards. Successful completion of this testing attains a major milestone for AccuPoll that our competitors have yet to reach."
AccuPoll last year received federal qualification for its electronic voting system under the 1990 Federal Election Commission voting system standards. However, as of January 1, 2005, any changes made to a voting system require that the entire system be tested and qualified under the revised 2002 Federal Election System Voting System Standards.
"In my opinion, SysTest Labs conducts the most rigorous and thorough testing possible and is the best qualified to test voting systems to the stringent 2002 standards," said Dennis Vadura, CEO of AccuPoll. "The result of this testing has provided AccuPoll with what we believe to be the best voting system available today."
