Verity Electronic Voting System
What is Verity®
Verity Duo is a ballot marking device (BMD) that tabulates votes from human verifiable information, not a black box barcode. Duo delivers an intuitive touchscreen voting experience and the reassurance of a printed, paper vote record for end-to-end auditability. And Verity Scan ensures reliable audits of voter intent and enables fast recounts, with digital capture of full images of scanned ballots. Voting data and audit logs are stored in redundant, physically separate locations.
How to use Verity®
To vote in the polling place, you move through the ballot, mark your choices and cast your ballot using a familiar touchscreen interface. You know your ballot was successfully cast when you see the image of the waving flag on the touchscreen. Verity is user-friendly and provides accessibility features that enable all voters, including those with disabilities, to cast their ballots privately and independently. These features include an audio ballot reader and accommodation of adaptive devices such as a sip-and-puff.
