Dominion Voting Systems Corporation is a Canadian company that sells electronic voting hardware including voting machines and tabulators.

Company

A Dominion ImageCast precinct-count optical-scan voting machine, mounted on a collapsible ballot box made by ElectionSource.

Dominion was founded in 2002 in Toronto, Canada, by John Poulos and James Hoover. [2]

Acquisitions

In May 2010, Dominion acquired Premier Election Solutions (formerly Diebold Election Systems) from Election Systems & Software (ES&S). ES&S had just acquired PES from Diebold and was required to sell off PES by the United States Department of Justice for anti-trust concerns.

In June 2010, Dominion acquired Sequoia Voting Systems. [3]

Canada

The province of New Brunswick was the first Canadian province to use Dominion's tabulator machines. This was used as a trial run for potentially using these machines for more election in the country including in the federal elections.

Officers

Poulos, President and CEO of Dominion, has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto and an MBA from INSEAD, in Fontainebleau, France.[4] Hoover (Vice President) has an MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta.[5]
