Suffolk County’s and Monroe County’s new voting systems
Monroe County, NY, successfully implemented the ExpressVote XL Universal Voting System as its primary voting device in the 2025 spring primary. Voters responded positively to the new voting system! The ES&S DS950 high-speed tabulator also made its successful debut as the county’s absentee, early vote and Election Day ballot tabulator for central scanning.

ES&S security philosophy
Nothing is more important to ES&S than protecting America’s democracy by supporting secure, accessible and accurate elections. That’s why every ES&S product reflects our three-part security philosophy:
- Design: All products are designed, without compromise, to meet the latest and ever-evolving standards in security, accuracy and reliability.
- Testing: In addition to ES&S testing protocols, all tabulation systems are rigorously tested and certified by the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC), which reflects security and performance standards developed by scientists, academics and election officials. ES&S also takes security testing to the next level, executing penetration testing with independent, accredited laboratories. ES&S submitted our end-to-end voting configuration for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) critical product evaluation (CPE) at one of our nation’s leading research labs.
- Implementation: The entire ES&S team is devoted to ensuring that each piece of technology performs as expected on Election Day, helping election officials uphold the laws of their jurisdiction, which mandate strict physical security and tight chain of custody of all voting machines.
Perhaps most importantly, all of us at ES&S are dedicated to supplying America with equipment and software for secure, accurate and accessible elections. We hold ourselves and each other accountable for this mandate and are proud to serve a role in this noble purpose.

Rochester Institute of Technology researchers put the ExpressVote XL to the test
In 2021, an award-winning team of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) student researchers recently conducted extensive penetration testing of the ExpressVote® XL. After 10 days of extensive tests, they found the machine to be very secure – with zero attacks that could alter or manipulate a voter’s choices at the polls.
“There was nothing we could find—in either scenario—that someone can do to change a voter’s choices in the real world.”
– Ian Stroszeck, a fifth-year RIT computing security BS/MS student.
