Andrew Hayes
Adam Hayes contributed to the votingworks/vxsuite repository, delivering features and fixes that enhanced reliability, user experience, and operational flexibility across election workflows. Over eight months, Adam built and refined backend and frontend systems using TypeScript, React, and Node.js, focusing on robust data management, UI/UX improvements, and system integration. His work included atomic database resets, safer USB handling, and streamlined report generation, as well as enhancements to ballot printing, file import flows, and configuration-driven behaviors. By addressing both technical debt and user-facing issues, Adam ensured maintainable, type-safe code that improved data integrity, reduced manual errors, and supported smoother field deployments.

7 Commits • 6 Features
Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2025-10) focused on delivering user-facing enhancements and reliability improvements across the vxsuite codebase. Key outcomes include: enhanced screenshot workflow with naming modal and keyboard shortcut; support for printing ballots on longer/custom paper sizes; ability to finalize results with manual tallies; numeric-aware precinct sorting for faster, more accurate navigation; and a safer vendor unconfiguration flow to remove election data with a confirmation guard. In addition, UI copy adjustments for manual tallies and a privacy-warning simplification were implemented to reduce user friction. These changes improve operational flexibility, reduce manual handling risks, and strengthen data integrity across admin, central, and voting workflows.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 – Delivered PollBook UI/UX polish and display improvements along with system reliability and cross-component stability enhancements for VxPollBook, VxAdmin, and VxCentralScan. UI work improved address editing, voter search relevance, text consistency, and display stability, complemented by multiple targeted fixes across the UI surface. Reliability work addressed timezone handling, issuer data, and battery/status reporting to reduce crashes and improve cross-component stability. Additional quality hardening reduced polling load and tightened edge-case handling to support smoother field deployments. These efforts improve user workflows, reduce support overhead, and enable more reliable deployments across jurisdictions.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 monthly summary for votingworks/vxsuite focusing on configuration-driven behavior, reduced hardware dependency, and smart-card handling improvements. Delivered two primary changes: feature to allow poll transitions without USB when continuous export is disabled, and bug fix enabling programming of system administrator cards without an election by removing an unnecessary assertion; added regression tests for the new scenarios. These changes improve operational reliability for poll workers and administrators, align behavior with configuration, and reduce hardware constraints. Commits referenced: fb4de2543086103466f42e2856a88d204f034ea6 (remove stray assert) and 9a1657675eeb14c501fd053e61470d8f4e83a405 (always allow polls transitions when continuous export is disabled).
