Legacy Systems

The Datavote, Mark-A-Vote, Microcomputer Tally System (MTS), and Opto-Mark systems were in use in California prior to 2005 when new laws and regulations related to voting systems were enacted. These systems are required to comply with the law, but did not go through the same review and approval process that was installed in 2005.
