How to Vote
Ready, Set, Vote
Welcome to the Digital Age of Voting at the Polls. No more flipping levers, no more Lighted X, and no more paper ballots to be marked with a Sharpie.
Before arriving at the polls, review the sample ballot mailed to you and bring it to your voting district.
Check in at your district E-Poll book, your sample ballot barcode can be scanned making check-in quicker. After checking in, a voter card will be handed to you, the voter, to use at the ICX-Ballot Marking Devise (ICX-BMD). The card only has your voting district recorded on to it, no personal information.
Touch-Screen Ballot Marking Device
The voter inserts the voter card into the ICX-BMD and their voting district ballot appears on the screen. The voter touches their choice. There can be no errors of voting too many candidates on a line or over voting, because the ballot knows if it is a “vote for 1” or 2 contest. “Next” takes the voter to the back of the ballot. “Review” lets the voter view their choice. “Print” will print a ballot with the voter’s selections.
Scan the Ballot to Cast Your Vote
The printed ballot is ready to be scanned at the ICP tabulator. This device processes, captures, and tallies the paper ballots.
The tabulator screen will state “System Ready.” The voter feeds the ballot into the tabulator entry slot, the valid ballot will display the message “Casting Ballot” followed by “Ballot Successfully Cast.”
If you have any question, call our office (609) 989-6750 or ask the Board Worker at your voting district.
