Scott County Auditor has announced an administrative audit for three precincts: D22 (Seventh Day Adventist School), D54 (YWCA), and B53 (TBK Sports Complex) due to intermittent issues with DS200 machines.
Davenport Rock Island Moline, IA, November 4, 2026 — Scott County officials have initiated an administrative audit for three specific precincts within the county. The announcement, made by the Scott County Auditor’s office, comes as a response to reported intermittent issues encountered with DS200 voting machines.
The precincts slated for this administrative review include D22, located at the Seventh Day Adventist School; D54, situated at the YWCA; and B53, which utilizes the TBK Sports Complex as its polling location. These audits are a procedural step to investigate the functionality and reliability of the voting equipment in these areas.
The DS200 is a type of electronic voting machine used in various jurisdictions. Issues with such machines, even if intermittent, can raise concerns regarding the accuracy and efficiency of the voting process. An administrative audit typically involves a thorough examination of records, procedures, and equipment performance to identify any discrepancies or areas for improvement.
While the trend summary indicates that the audit is a direct result of the machine issues, specific details regarding the nature or frequency of these intermittent problems were not provided. Similarly, the exact timeline for the completion of the audit or any potential outcomes has not been disclosed. The Scott County Auditor’s office is responsible for overseeing election processes, ensuring that all voting procedures and equipment meet established standards for integrity and accessibility.
The decision to audit these particular precincts suggests a targeted approach to address specific operational concerns. This process is designed to ensure the integrity of future elections by identifying and rectifying any systematic or sporadic malfunctions with the voting technology. Further information regarding the audit’s findings is expected to be released by the Auditor’s office upon its conclusion.
