AccuPoll Receives Pennsylvania State Certification; Company's Voting System First to Be Certified By Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth

Business Wire, August 10, 2005

TUSTIN, Calif. -- AccuPoll, Inc. (OTCBB:ACUP), a developer of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems, today announced that its DRE voting system is the first touch screen voting system to be certified by the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth since the passage of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is requiring any voting system purchased with federal funds allocated pursuant to HAVA to be certified to the 2002 FEC Voting System Standards.

"This is a major accomplishment for us," said William E. Nixon, president and CEO of AccuPoll. "With this state certification in hand, AccuPoll is now certified to sell its voting system and conduct elections in Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires that any electronic voting system deemed to be HAVA compliant must meet the 2002 FEC Voting System Standards. Consequently, no new electronic voting system can be certified in Pennsylvania without meeting those standards."

The Secretary of the Commonwealth has structured voting system upgrade funding programs to encourage county authorities to purchase a single HAVA compliant precinct count electronic voting system that can be used by all voters, including individuals with disabilities, because it would be the most efficient use of Federal, State and local funds. To date, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has received over $100 million in federal funds under Title II of HAVA. Most of these funds will be made available to counties to upgrade their voting systems to fully comply with HAVA.
