ACCUVOTE-OS

Clay County currently uses an optical scan voting machine called the AccuVote-OS. On Election Day the voter is given a ballot, that voter goes into the voting booth, colors in the ovals on the ballot for the candidates or yes/no issues of their choice and then puts the ballot into the tabulator. The ballot is then either tabulated once it is put in the machine or the ballot is kicked back out of the machine to let the voter know that he/she has made a mistake on the ballot either, they have voted for too many candidates or not voted the ballot at all, that gives the voter an opportunity to correct any possible mistakes. Once the polls close the Election Judges hook the tabulator up to a dedicated phone line and the results from those precincts are sent via modem to the Election office, some precincts may not have a dedicated line. Those results are uploaded in house once the Election Judges bring the machine to the office on Election Night.
