Voting Equipment Database – Dominion ImageCast Remote

Dominion’s ImageCast Remote is a client-side remote ballot marking system. The system supports WCAG 2.0 Level AA conformance, multiple languages, browser-based screen readers and Audio-Tactile Interfaces (ATI).

The Electronic Mobile Ballot can have more than one QR code, containing the number of available contests, candidates, and write-in candidates.

There is also no further interaction with a remote server. Secure Select is hosted on two or more parallel servers, which are monitored by Democracy Live. The system meets WCAG 2.0 guidelines for accessibility. Secure Select ballots are a summary of the voter’s selections printed on the voter’s printer paper with a QR code, which contains the voter’s selections. The QR code can be scanned by a smartphone or 2D bar code reader. After printing, the voter ends their session and their selections are cleared from memory. The voter cannot reprint their ballot. Voters access Secure Select via a link from their county.
