速

Voter Assist Terminal Election officials and organizations representing people with disabilities voiced a need for voters with special needs to gain the ability to mark their ballot independently and privately. ES&S listened, and developed the AutoMARK速, a ballot-marking system designed to provide autonomy to voters who are blind, visually impaired, or have a disability or condition which makes it difficult to traditionally mark a ballot. Utilizing revolutionary technology, AutoMARK速 Voter Assist Terminal is the future of paper ballot-marking technology. Simply adding an ES&S AutoMARK 速 device to your polling location ensures compliance with the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) accessibility requirement and eliminates the need to reinvest in a new tabulation system.
