How to Vote on Touch Screen Voting Equipment
When you arrive at your polling place or advance voting location, check
in at the registration table and give your name and address to the Election Official.
You will receive a 2-part Voter Receipt indicating your precinct number. Take this receipt to the Voter Card table.
You will then be escorted to a voting machine by a machine judge.
The machine judge will confirm your precinct number on your Voter Receipt with the precinct number that appears on the first screen of the voting computer.
The machine judge will deposit your Voter Receipt into an envelope which is attached to the booth.
Read the "Instructions to Voters" on the first screen.
Touch "Start" when ready to begin voting:
- To vote, touch the screen on a candidate or issue.
- To change your vote, touch the candidate again to undo your mark.

- Touch "Record Write-in" to finish your selection. Touch "Cancel" to cancel your selection.
- Your write-in selection will appear on the ballot screen. If you need to make a correction, touch the selection to clear the write-in box.
