| The patented iVotronicTM Touch Screen Voting System is the newest
ES&S voting solution for jurisdictions who prefer paperless
voting. Available with a 12.1” or 15” full-color display, the
iVotronic is wireless, multilingual, and ADA-compliant. Voters
securely cast their vote for each race and/or ballot proposition
simply through the touch of the screen. Its Audio Ballot feature
easily assists those voters who are visually impaired. Weighing only
9.75 pounds, the iVotronic is the most portable system in the industry
enabling curbside voting and wheelchair access, and it is powered
either by 120-volt AC current or a rechargeable battery cartridge. To
ensure voter intent and ballot correctness, the iVotronic prevents the
voter from over-voting and alerts the voter of under-voted races.
| The iVotronic is the first touch screen voting device officially
certified for use in the State of Florida, and its innovative
technology enables all voters—especially those visually
impaired—to easily and correctly cast their vote in complete
privacy.

sites to election central in a variety of ways including: telephone

and radio stations and produce hard copies on paper.
