Benefits of Using Tablets to Mark Ballots

Voters using tablets to mark a ballot can increase the size of the font and change the color and contrast of the text. Tablets also help voters with cognitive disabilities or limited reading capabilities.

Tablets work well for voters with limited range of motion. Voters who are quadriplegic or have severe arthritis can use their fingers or a number of assistive technologies, such as sip-and-puff systems, to mark their ballots.
