With the new voting process, voters simply mark their choices on a paper ballot and deposit it into a scanner. For voters with sight or manual dexterity challenges, there is another part of the voting machine that allows voting with complete privacy and independence. Voters use headphones to hear selections on the ballot, or look at an LCD screen with an image of the ballot that can be adjusted for size and contrast. Voters use a video game-type controller to mark a ballot, or a "Sip and Puff" device. Once the voter has made all of his or her choices, the ballot is printed out and deposited into the scanner.
