2008 GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT INFORMATION
2008 GENERAL ELECTION SAMPLE BALLOTS
PARK COUNTY'S VOTING SYSTEM
| Park County will be using
the Hart voting system that is accurate, verifiable, accessible
and easy to use. The system has 2 components: eScan that will
read your paper ballot and an accessible eSlate. |
| The eScan will read your
paper ballot and give the voter a second chance if ballot is mis-marked
to correct before paper ballot is accepted. |
| The eSlate is accessible to
voters, enabling those who are blind or visually impaired or
have limited dexterity to vote privately and independently. The
eSlate is a Help America Vote Act required in all polling
locations. |
Park County Using
a New Electronic Voting System
To comply with the
Federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA), voters in Park County will
find new election equipment at the polls beginning in 2006. The new
systems voters will use in Park County is the Hart eScan®
for counting and storing paper ballots and Hart eSlate®
with Verifiable
Ballot Option (VBO) for accessible voting. The eScan®
uses a digital
technology to scan paper ballots that provides a wider range of
accuracy than optical scanning. The eSlate®
captures your
votes electronically and the VBO allows each voter to view a summary
of how they voted printed on paper (as required by state law).
The new systems are
easy to use, accessible and meet all the requirements of the Help
America Vote Act. In addition, Park County's new systems
provide all voters with the opportunity to cast their ballots
privately, accurately, securely, and verifiably.
Please take a moment
