The Miami-Dade County Office of the Supervisor of Elections has announced the date for Logic and Accuracy (L&A) testing of voting equipment for the upcoming Surfside Run-Off Election, scheduled for Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
The official L&A test will take place on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., at the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Headquarters.
Logic and Accuracy testing is a standard, mandatory procedure conducted prior to every election to ensure that all voting equipment and tabulation systems are functioning properly. This critical process confirms that every piece of equipment is operating accurately and reliably, providing voters with confidence in the integrity of the election.
During the testing, election personnel will conduct a comprehensive review of all voting systems used to record and tabulate ballots. Test ballots, based on a predetermined set of results, will be cast to verify that the equipment correctly captures and reports every vote. Results are carefully compared against expected outcomes to ensure both accuracy and proper system performance.
Former Mayor Shlomo Danzinger and Vice Mayor Tina Paul are facing off in the runoff mayoral election.
“Ensuring that every voting system is fully operational and performing with precision is fundamental to the work we do,” said Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia. “Through Logic and Accuracy testing, we take an important step in confirming that our equipment is ready and that voters can cast their ballots with confidence.”
