Dominion voting machines are designed and produced by Dominion Voting Systems, a company founded in Canada and later headquartered in both Toronto, Ontario, and Denver, Colorado, with additional software development operations in Serbia. Public testimony and government documents indicate that while core system design and integration are done in North America, some hardware components—such as LCD screens and small electronic parts like capacitors and resistors—are sourced from manufacturers in China, as is typical in the electronics supply chain.

Company background

  • Dominion Voting Systems was founded in Toronto, Canada, in the early 2000s to build electronic voting devices and related software.
  • The firm later established major headquarters in Denver, Colorado, and maintains development teams in Canada and Serbia for its proprietary election software.

Where machines and parts come from

  • System design, software development, and final integration of many Dominion systems occur in North America (Canada and the United States), where the company is based and where its main offices operate.
  • According to statements cited in U.S. government records, Dominion’s CEO has acknowledged that certain hardware components—specifically LCD displays and small electronic parts—are manufactured in China and incorporated into the finished systems.

How this fits typical electronics manufacturing

  • Modern electronic equipment, including specialized devices like voting machines, often uses a global supply chain in which components are sourced from multiple countries but assembled and certified under the oversight of the primary vendor.
  • For U.S. elections, voting systems and their manufacturers must register with federal authorities and undergo certification processes, which focus on performance, security, and reliability rather than requiring that every component be domestically manufactured.

Mini FAQ

  • Are all Dominion machines made entirely in the U.S. or Canada?
    No. The company is headquartered in North America and oversees system design and integration there, but individual parts like screens and small electronics can be made in China.
  • Does using Chinese-made parts mean China runs the machines?
    No. Using commodity components from Chinese factories is common in electronics and does not, by itself, give any foreign government control over the systems, which are specified, integrated, tested, and certified by Dominion and election authorities.
