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.
