Government Officials

A recent study found 67% of polling places in America are inaccessible. A lack of physical access prevents as many as five million voters from getting in the door and exercising their civil rights. Assistive voting technology is improving the process, but election officials still need to address physical barriers at voting locations.

BallotCall™ is a simple communication tool that allows voters with disabilities to request assistance with entry or curbside voting. Based on a wireless alert system, the BallotCall™ system improves access to any polling facility.

Thousands of units already in use in more than 40 states and territories meet all requirements:

"We had a big increase in the number of voters that used BallotCall™. We knew of three voters that always need curb-side voting. But with the bell outside by the curb, 24 voters used it. The Secretary of State's Office just loved it."
-Tom Schelling, County Clerk, Cochise County, Arizona

• Consistent with universal design guidelines, HAVA and Section 261 funds
• Allows voters with disabilities to take advantage of new assistive voting technology inside the polling place
• Portable design is easily transported, set up on election day, and securely stored for the next election
• Supported by voters with disabilities and advocates
