Manufacturer Profile
Dominion Voting Systems was founded in 2002 in Toronto, Canada, by John Poulos and James Hoover. The company significantly expanded its U.S. presence in 2010 through the acquisition of Premier Election Solutions (formerly Diebold Election Systems) and Sequoia Voting Systems, after which it consolidated its headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Over the next decade, the company became a major provider of electronic voting hardware and software across the United States.
In October 2025, Dominion Voting Systems was acquired by Liberty Vote, a St. Louis-based firm founded by Scott Leiendecker. While the organization now operates under the Liberty Vote brand, existing equipment previously manufactured by Dominion, Premier, and Sequoia remains supported under the Liberty Vote portfolio. For identification within this database, beginning with 2026 legacy Dominion-manufactured equipment is labeled as Liberty Vote (Dominion), while Premier (Diebold) and Sequoia equipment will continue to be identified by the original manufacturer.
