Diebold AccuVote TS

Voter Information Sheet


Name/Model: AccuVote-TS
Vendor:  Diebold Election Systems

How To Vote On This Machine:
  1. After confirming the voter is registered, he or she is handed a “smart card."
  2. The voter then inserts the smart card into the slot on the right side of the screen.  Card should be face up with the arrow pointing forward.
  3. Touch the "Start" button on the bottom, middle part of the screen to access the ballot.
  4. Follow the on screen instructions to make selections on ballot.
  5. After all selections have been made, a summary screen will appear.  This screen should be carefully check to ensure that all choices were recorded correctly. If the choices DO NOT match, the voter can touch either the race in question or "Review Ballot" on the lower-right portion of the screen.
  6. If the summary screen matches the voter's intent, the the voter should then touch "Cast Vote."
REMEMBER: You have the right to ask for assistance from a poll work during the voting process.  If the poll worker is unable to resolve any machine-related problem you might have, do not cast your ballot on the machine.  You can demand to vote on another machine or by paper.
Technical Issues To Look Out For:
  1. Only a portion of the ballot is loaded.
  2. Selections don't "stick," and the machine mistakenly marks another option.
  3. Strange mark, like an "X," appears next to candidate from other party who is not selected.

  • "The core of our American democracy is the right to vote. Implicit in that right is the notion that that vote be private, that vote be secure, and that vote be counted as it was intended when it was cast by the voter. And I think what we're encountering is a pivotal moment in our democracy where all of that is being called into question." (more here)
