Source-linked configuration dossier
Clear Ballot ClearVote 2.5 / ClearCount
A separate source-linked dossier for the ClearCount 2.5 central-count system, which uses a CountServer, ScanStations paired with certified COTS scanners, CountStations, a closed wired network, and an external UPS.

Do not collapse evidence scopes.
A certified component list does not prove what a jurisdiction installed. A jurisdiction system-version listing does not prove device firmware, configuration-change adoption, internal parts, or power topology.

Network configuration evidence
Documented paths, controls, and unknowns
Expected, documented, and observed configurations remain separate. Physical port capability is not treated as an active connection.
Safe public evidence boundaryReviewed 2026-07-21
The ClearVote 2.5 EAC scope documents ClearCount as a wired, closed, isolated Ethernet system linking the CountServer, ScanStations, and CountStations through a certified switch alternative. COTS scanners attach to ScanStations; field cabling and switch settings remain installation-specific.
The module publishes only source-supported roles, media, direction, and isolation controls. It excludes IP addressing, credentials, keys, switch-management values, VLAN details, hostnames, serial numbers, and site diagrams.1 sourced configuration view2 source imagesNo field-observed topology collected

Certified closed wired ClearCount LAN
One CountServer is shared by one or more ScanStations and CountStations over a network switch. Each COTS scanner is paired locally with a ScanStation, while tabulation results and card images are stored in the central election database on the CountServer.

The exact 2.5 scope says the ClearCount network is not connected to other systems or the Internet.
documentedNo modem or wireless attachment
Clear Ballot's current security policy says certified products are never attached to modems, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
documentedEncrypted traffic policy
The manufacturer states that traffic on its certified-product closed network is encrypted using NIST-recommended algorithms.
Operational details withheld
No addresses, credentials, cryptographic material, hostnames, switch settings, VLANs, or site-specific cable routes are collected or shown.
This is the certified architecture, not proof that a jurisdiction selected every alternative, used the maximum number of stations, or installed a particular switch or cabling layout.
Source diagrams and pagesExpand any image; scope and caveats stay attached.

The diagram establishes certified system relationships, not the number, placement, make, port assignment, or operational state of equipment at a particular site.
EAC scope PDF page 8, document page 6source document pageExact ClearVote 2.5 scope text for the ClearCount closed Ethernet architecture
The page is a certification description and does not document a jurisdiction's live switch configuration or cable installation.
EAC scope PDF page 5, document page 3Evidence gapsUnknowns stay explicit and source-bounded.
Switch and addressing configuration
The reviewed public package does not establish selected switch model, port occupation, addressing, management settings, cable routes, or the number of active stations for a jurisdiction.
Those details require a dated jurisdiction record or authorized inspection and should not be inferred from the certified alternatives.Field-observed topology
No dated jurisdiction installation diagram, network inventory, or unit-level observation was collected for this dossier.
Absence of field evidence is reported as a gap, not as a claim about actual operation.Version evidence

“Last” means latest in this reviewed source package, not a live device reading or the newest product-family release.

Neutral finding types replace a generic “bugs” bucket so affected versions and source scope remain visible.

Back-side-only contest card tabulation correction
The submitted modification list identifies a correction for cards with contests only on the back side.
The record does not quantify occurrence, identify a fielded version, or establish an effect on a certified election result.

Deployment evidence
Dated jurisdiction observations
Deployment records remain at their documented grain. A system-level observation does not establish unit components, firmware, change adoption, or power configuration.
not collected
No reviewed deployment observation in this dossier
The source package currently establishes a certified configuration and test history, but no dated jurisdiction-level use record.
Absence from this catalog is not evidence that the system is unused. Deployment claims require a separately reviewed state or local source.
Jurisdiction context
Where this equipment appears in 2024 records
These jurisdiction rows are third-party administration context. A product-family name supports only that named family at the reported jurisdiction grain. A manufacturer match does not establish that a particular dossier model, component, firmware version, or certified configuration was deployed.
