Help America Vote Act

The Federal Help America Vote Act was passed to improve access to voting for all eligible voters.  One specific requirement of the act is to provide voting equipment that allows voters with a disability to vote privately and independently.  In Minnesota that is possible with a ballot marking devise called the AutoMark.  Voters with disabilities can use this ballot marking devise in city hall to vote absentee or on election day.  Voters with visual disabilities can mark their ballot privately using a headset to hear the candidate or ballot question choices.
