RE: Audible Notice of casting of a vote

If you read the second requirement closely, it says that the pollworker needs to know when the ballot is cast, and also when the "machine is in a voter active position".  That is, when they insert their voter card.  We'll do that too.

Here are the apparent specifics:
AccuVote voting system is capable of meeting the following criteria on or before November 23, 20001:
  • Provide a screen, hood, or curtain that is so made and can be so adjusted as to conceal the voter while voting.
  • Provide a visual and audible signals to the poll worker that the voting machine is in a voter active position and that the voters cast their vote.  The audible sound should be able to be heard from twenty feet.  The visual display shall be well illuminated and easily readable.
  • Have an adjustable volume control such that the bell, gong or noise making device signaling the casting of a vote is audible to the voter.

Posted on behalf of Robert Pickett:

 

This is a requirement for the State of Louisiana.  We are in the process of bidding on a statewide voting system.  Robert has been asked to demonstrate this capability by Wednesday, November 21, 2001.

 

Provide an audible signal that the voter has cast their vote.  The audible signal should be heard from 20 feet.  This would require a noise to be played once a voter has pressed the “Cast Ballot” button.
