Accessible Voting Using The eSlate

Clark County voters with disabilities now have the option of casting a truly secret ballot using an accessible voting unit.

The new eSlate accessible voting unit is a direct record electronic machine that allows voters with disabilities, including those who are blind, mobility impaired or lack upper-body dexterity, to vote privately and independently. The eSlate is in a booth that is wheelchair accessible.

The photos to the right are of the eSlate, encased in its booth.

Beginning 20 days before each election this accessible voting machine is available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Clark County Elections Office (1408 Franklin Street, Vancouver).

The elections office may be reached by taking C-Tran bus #1 Fruit Valley Route.  You will be let off at Franklin Street and Mill Plain Blvd.
