The company stated today that its new multi-lingual, electronic voting system combines the transparency of touch screen input with the documentation of a voter-verified, printed-paper record and the inherent security of a Linux based system.

The choice of voting systems to purchase is simple, the AccuPoll system is in its final certification process. The system will be one of the most technologically advanced, federally certified, electronic voting systems with a voter verified paper printout available today," stated Frank Wiebe, president of AccuPoll.

The versatile system offers many features that provide strong security measures and increases the voting record accuracy. The Linux-based system is affordable due to non-proprietary hardware and open source software that reduces costs. Eliminating costly pre-printed ballots also generates savings by reducing paper waste.

The system also meets the accessibility requirements for disabled voters and will support a variety of commonly used languages as required under the Voting Rights Act. Ballots can also be completed by means of audio headphones and keypad for the visually impaired.

The voting station transparently guides voters through the voting process. Votes are confirmed via an on-screen acknowledgement and by a paper 'Proof of Vote printed by the voting station. A voter is warned if there are blank voting sections and it will not allow overvoting.
