Scytl’s election management subsidiary, SOE Software, has been awarded a contract through a nationwide competitive solicitation by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office to use Clarity Election Night Reporting (ENR) to present State and Federal election data from all 159 counties. Georgia joins 13 other statewide implementations that leverage the industry leading election results presentation solution. Clarity ENR is the nation’s leading software presentation tool for elections with its graphical presentation of maps, bar charts, totals and downloadable reports. Georgia residents along with media and political campaigns will now be able to find detailed, precinct-specific election result data on election night from the Georgia Secretary of State’s website. With this innovation, the State of Georgia and all its 159 counties can expect to reduce phone calls and data requests from the public while increasing openness and transparency to the public.

The Halifax Regional Council has approved the award to Scytl Canada Inc. for this project to provide Internet and telephone voting for the 2012 municipal elections. This was the result of a competitive process in which 4 offers were evaluated by the Municipal Clerks Office, the Finance and Information Technology Office and an external evaluator.  The Internet and telephone voting solution provided by Scytl will be available for advanced voting during the two weeks prior to the election day for approximately 330,000 voters registered in the capital of the Province of Nova Scotia.

Scytl has acquired 100% of SOE Software (www.soesoftware.com), the leading software provider of election management solutions in the United States. The integration of these two software companies creates the industry leader in the election software market with a full range of solutions covering from Internet voting to election night reporting and online pollworker training, and a strong market presence worldwide.
