GES (GENERAL ELECTION SYSTEM)

Global Election Systems, headquartered in McKinney, Texas, was formed in early 1991 in direct response to extensive market studies which revealed a significant void of election-related products that utilized state-of-the-art technology. There was also strong evidence of dissatisfaction in the level of service and support being provided by some of the established voting system vendors, and dismay over marketing strategies that appeared to be steeped in planned product obsolescence.

The Global Election Systems' senior management team is comprised of seasoned election professionals who played key roles in the founding, as well as subsequent growth and success of two major companies in the industry - Computer Election Systems (CES) and American Information Systems (AIS).

Global's management team has forged a new vision for the company highlighted by a focused philosophy which features technology-based solutions as key ingredient to addressing the growing complexities of the election industry. It is no longer possible to shoehorn a one-dimensional voting system into a complex election environment and expect it to meet the needs and solve the problems. Acting on that premise, the management team has positioned the company with effective, problem solving solutions that include multi-dimensional products and services and a cadre of professionals to carry out the vision.

In mid-1991, Global Election Systems' acquired the AccuVote system and immediately grew its customer base from one to over 800 throughout the U.S. and Canada in just nine years. The AccuVote is a precinct-based optical scan tabulator which was used to pioneer TeleResults (modem transmission) and Postscript ballot production, which have since become industry standards.

In mid-1997, Global acquired I-Mark Systems which has developed the most technologically advanced touch screen system available. Powered by SmartCard technology, this system addresses the industry's fundamental shift to remove geographic limitations which will give voters a more convenient means of participating in the election process. Its expanded functionality, enhanced by Biometric encryption authorization, also permits voting on the Internet and Web TV.

To complement its multi-dimensional product line, Global has assembled a talented and experienced staff of election professionals. Its market coverage is addressed with offices in Murfreesboro/Nashville, TN; Novato/San Francisco, CA; Jamestown/Greensboro, NC; Omaha, NE; Albuquerque, NM; Jacksonville, FL; Toronto, Canada, and Vancouver, Canada. Additionally, Global supports a network of dealers with locations in Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; Kalamazoo, MI; Clinton, MO; and Mount Holly, NJ.

Global's fresh new vision has propelled the company to the forefront of the election vendor community. The industry called for a total solutions provider, and Global Election Systems answered it.
