Technology has redefined what it means to “test” before an election due to the introduction of a variety of technological components used by election officials.

Before the advent of some of these technological advances, election officials primarily focused their testing on the equipment used to cast a ballot and tabulate voted ballots. This testing became known as logic and accuracy testing, LAT, or L&A.
