Summary
The Accessible Ballot Marker (ABM) provides a digital interface so that ballot choices
can be indicated by voters who:
- require “enhanced access” in order to vote unassisted, or
- prefer a digital on-screen ballot marking experience.
The ABM software provides video and audio access to ballot information, and uses hardware that supports a variety of enhanced-access user input/output devices. At the end of a duty cycle of serving a single voter, the ABD prints a paper ballot in the same format as the unmarked paper ballots used in the precinct or voting center, but with automatically generated marks that indicate the voter’s choices. The intent is that these digitally marked paper ballots will be counted by being scanned in the polling place, just as are the hand-marked paper ballots.
At the end of the session (typically a full election day of service in a precinct or voting center or early voting center), the ABM produces audit logs that include the finished set of digitally marked ballot choices of each “vote caster” and the series of vote caster actions that led to it.
The benefit of the ABM is to support enhanced access and to provide a digital means for marking a ballot that can deliver an improved, more error-free user experience strictly from the standpoint of making ballot marks.
