Description: Accuvote-OSX is a precinct and central accumulation digital scan voting system. When using the Accuvote-OSX as a precinct based digital scan unit, ballots are processed in the polling place, not transported to a central location. Only the voter touches the ballot between the time it is cast and the time it is counted. The Accuvote-OSX integrates the vote tabulation and recording process into one unit. The unit is powered with both an internal battery source and an external source.
Detailed Voting Process: The Accuvote-OSX functions much like a traditional paper ballot system. Upon entering the voting precinct, the voter will receive a paper ballot; the voter shades in the paper ballot with any standard pen or pencil and inserts the ballot into the Accuvote-OSX, where they are given a chance to review their votes. As votes are entered, the Accuvote-OSX stores the vote tallies on its internal memory card. When the polls close, the Accuvote-OSX then transmits the voting data from the polling place to the central host computer by way of a modem.
