How to vote using an AVU
When you arrive at the Elections Office to vote using an AVU, you will sign an application and present a form of identification. You will then receive a four-digit access code that you will enter into an AVU to access your ballot.
An AVU presents your ballot on a monitor. You select choices by touching the screen, by using a wheel, or by using a tool. You can use headphones to listen to the text. Machines can also be fitted with sip-and-puff tools. If you would prefer to use a sip-and-puff tool, please bring your tool with you when you come to the Elections Office.
AVUs are wheelchair-accessible and screened from other voters to maintain privacy.
