mobility

I liked this system because of its easy to understand technology and it made voting fun to do.

It is easy to use, but I prefer voting from home. Internet voting would be better! (for me) Not going to a voting poll is very important to a person with a disability. Getting into an accessible voting location is nearly impossible for a person with a physical disability. I know people who would benefit from phone voting. If the system was easy to use. People would need to try the system first because I do not need to use this type of voting adaptation. I cannot give specifics. You need to find individuals that need this type of device.

I’m still sold on paper ballots.

It was easy and fun and a pleasure to vote this way!

Not sure my ballot was recorded correctly—would have wanted a print out.

Other Comments: Confusing—Don’t like the buttons—need tactile markings—need tactile reference buttons.

Tactile markers should be on screen—a dot or something to indicate where corners were—how far from corner etc—nothing elaborate—just a marker—instructions—tap or touch—vague

tried twice—helpful if instructions were more consistent at the site

Good—only 4 corners. If more places, need Braille labeling.

It was hard to understand—thought it was patronizing—not user friendly for newly blinded seniors—(elderly)!!!

Partially sighted people great—not so good for totally blind—someone had to start the system.

I could not get touchscreen to work

It wasn’t difficult to understand but it could get confusing. You have to keep track of what is going on.

I liked this voting system because:it was simple and large enough

Background colors important—a dark background with light lettering is easier for me to read—any read or yellow lettering is difficult.

Voice could be improved. Work more smoothly and consistently—system problem with reviewing my vote.

Only limitation—needed more ballot information about choices.

I didn’t like this voting system because...volume was too low; too noisy to hear

like it because speech was very clear

I didn’t like this voting system because...the touch screen wasn’t responsive to touch

I liked this voting system because...told who you voted for but didn’t say thank you for your vote.

good portability

good machine

could use both systems for voting

yes, it was very accessible for me

Really liked it—easy to use

none

easy to read text

Touchscreen needs overlay
