BASIC INFORMATION: Voting Equipment

These are the 3 types of voting equipment used in the polling place. We will go into more detail about each type of voting equipment later in this training.

POLL PAD: This is an iPad-based tablet device used to check-in each voter. It is also sometimes called an electronic pollbook.

EXPRESSVOTE: This is a ballot marking device. It’s like a big pen! It prints a marked ballot card that voters can then scan themselves. This device is especially helpful for voters who cannot read or mark a regular ballot easily.

DS200 SCANNER: This is the device voters use to cast their ballot. It automatically scans and counts all votes.
