2. From their website, vote-pad.com:

The Voting-on-Paper Assistive Device, called the “Vote-PAD,” is an inexpensive, non-electronic, voter-assist device that helps people with a broad range of visual or dexterity impairments to vote independently.

The Vote-PAD can be used in any jurisdiction that uses voter-marked ballots. It is customized for each ballot in each election to provide access to the precinct’s hand-counted or optically-scanned paper ballot.

“I can’t use my fingers, so I have to hit a touch screen with my whole hand and I get lots of error messages. I can use the Vote-PAD.” ~ Maria Matos, Boston Center for Independent Living (Tester with quadriplegia)


Supplementing existing voter-assist methods with Vote-PADs is a responsible way of ensuring accessible provisional voting and voting during breakdowns.
