Express Vote Machine

 

The ExpressVote provides a means for voters who need assistance to mark and print a readable and verifiable card. Voters with visual impairments have access to headphones that provide audio instructions and can use an audio-tactile keypad with braille legends to mark selections. Votes are recorded on a visible card to avoid voter concerns with the integrity of a purely electronic vote recording system.

Marked ExpressVote cards are tabulated using the DS200 scanner.

ExpressVote has a built-in lithium-ion battery pack that provides power if AC power is lost. The fully charged battery runs the unit for at least 2 hours without AC power. If the expressVote reaches a critically low battery power level without being shut off, the ExpressVote will initiate a controlled shutdown to prevent the system from being corrupted.

Voters with low vision can view the screen as they use the headphones and tactile keypad for an audio-visual voting experience. The keypad's faceplate also has embossed Braille codes to identify each key. The Audio-tactile keypad also features a diamond shaped tactile key labeled "screen"  that allows the voter to select a black privacy screen for the voting session.
