Voting Machine

TOUCH THE FUTURE

The Advanced Voting Solutions, WINvote™ system, a state-of the-art touch screen machine about the size of a large lap top computer, replaced the aging Shouptronic-1242 voting machines, which the county had used since 1988.

The Winvote™ system is equipped with an audio headset that enables voters with visual disabilities to cast their votes unassisted. This light-weight machine may be carried outside for curbside voters. This system also has the capability to transmit election returns electronically.

The WINvote™ system was tested at three of the County's polling locations for the November 2002 General Election. The results of voter surveys taken at these precincts were overwhelmingly positive.

Training and demonstrations of the voting equipment will be scheduled for all elections.
