Voting Equipment Database – ES&S ExpressPoll
The Election Systems & Software ExpressPoll is an electronic poll book used in place of printed paper poll books. ExpressPolls check in voters, see whether they have already received or voted a mail ballot, and can generate a particular ballot style barcode from the ExpressPass printer to be used on an ExpressVote ballot marking device (BMD) or ExpressVote XL hybrid BMD/optical scanner Voter Activation Card. The ExpressPoll software runs on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tablets. In 2015, ES&S introduced the ExpressPoll tablet with an integrated stand, which has an internal USB hub to connect to the ExpressPass printer and a built-in infrared barcode scanner. ExpressPoll software holds registered voter data for a designated precinct, polling place, and county, and also includes the ES&S-provided statewide voter registration database.
