The phone didn’t work at all!

It would not read back what I had actually said. It took 3 times to dial in. The speaker’s voice was too low in volume.

liked voice recognition and ability to do at home—hard to know if vote was cast correctly—need print receipt to have elections officials verify my ballot.

eliminates transportation problems to go and vote at a polling place

Other comments: Registration process wasn’t accurate—voting section could have been louder

Other comments: I was not able to finish phone—too much background noise. It kept asking to repeat. I could barely hear.

The phone system may not have been loud enough. If phone system doesn’t understand, “please repeat your choice”—Do not error—That is confusing.

Other Comments: Liked security of voice recognition—Difficult to do in this setting. I like the familiarity of using own phone—increases comfort and confidence.

I liked it best of what I tried so far.

Prefer to vote by phone at home.

Hearing was difficult; couldn’t go back and reverse decision—ability to not vote for candidate was difficult. (wasn’t bad system)

voting by phone is the best method for visually impaired

I liked this voting system because: it was private and easy to use.

Have to have a quiet atmosphere!!!!

NOISE was written next to questions 1,3,4,7,8, and 9; NEEDED QUIET ROOM. Didn’t get beyond saying ID number. Never understood. Didn’t get to experience entire process.

I like this voting system because...it is available at any phone and because vote cannot be interrupted.

I can do it from home

cognitive/mental health

Too much noise in the room—otherwise very easy

it was fun

didn’t like for lack of privacy—everyone could hear

none

Too hard to hear and asked questions too many times over again.

It was loud in the lobby and the phone system could not hear me. It was very frustrating.

I think that people who are homebound, this would be an excellent method for them to vote.

Phone was unable to understand my choices and I speak clearly. Did not even get registered.

Background noise made it difficult to hear—not system problem but environment
