Precinct Count Optical Scanner (PCOS)
Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) is a ballot tabulator. It is used alongside compatible
ballot boxes. The system is designed to scan marked paper ballots, interpret the voter
marks, tabulate each vote, store safely each ballot and transmit data.
Consolidation Canvassing System (CCS)
The Consolidation Canvassing System or CCS is a software program installed in a laptop
that consolidates and processes data from the tabulated ballots entered in the PCOS
machine. It generates the COC, SOV and COCP.

ONE OR MORE AMBIGUOUS MARKS DETECTED ON THE BALLOT.
PLEASE CORRECT ALL AMBIGUOUS MARKS AND REFEED THE
BALLOT.
An ambiguous mark warning occurs when the device detects a mark that is unclear. There are
two possible types of ambiguous marks:
1. The voter has made a mark that is too light, which needs to be darkened in order to be
clearly counted as a vote.2. The voter has inadvertently made a small mark in a box where they had not intended to.
The system cannot be certain of the voters intent thus, the mark is neither a definite vote
nor a non-vote. The screen displays the above message.
