Voting Technology 2008


We developed the following voting technology information sheets to help voters learn about voting technology and how to increase the likelihood of having their votes counted as intended. The online demos from election officials and voting technology vendors are often helpful in getting a better sense of how to operate the voting equipment.

We provide the following information:
