With the Optical Scan Voting System, here's what to expect when you go to the polls - whether voting early or at your precinct on Election Day:
|
|

|
- Insert your ballot into the ballot scanner
|
|
|
CORRECTLY MARKED BALLOT
|
|
|
- If your ballot is marked correctly, the scanner will accept your ballot, record your votes and deposit the ballot into a locked ballot box
|
|
|
MISMARKED BALLOTS
|
|
  |
- The scanner will alert you if your ballot appears blank or contains one or more overvotes
|
|
|

|
- You will be given the option to either ACCEPT the ballot as is, or RETURN it to you for corrections
|
|
|
IMPORTANT:If you have any questions, ask a poll worker for help. Once you have inserted your ballot into the scanner and your votes are recorded, the ballot CANNOT be returned |
|
|
|
An ADA accessible voting machine,the AutoMark,will be available at each early voting location and Election Day polling place. |
|
 |
- This ballot marking device uses an optical scan ballot
- The AutoMarkallows voters with disabilities the option to use an audio function with headset and Braille keypad
|
|
|
