Description: Voters living with a disability have the opportunity to mark their ballots privately and independently using assistive ballot marking devices. These devices have a variety of accessibility options including audio, large font, color contrast, touch screen input and tactile input to assist voters in marking a ballot. The machines print out a scannable, marked ballot which the voter can review, the ballot is then placed in an envelope and dropped in a ballot box with other ballots. Ballots are verified and processed at the Election Center, like every other ballot returned through the mail or at a drop box. This accessible equipment is available in the Pierce County Election Center during normal business hours 18 days prior to every election. Other voting center locations may be available depending on the election.
