What voting machines will San Francisco voters use for the upcoming election?
San Franciscan voters use an optical scan voting machine to cast their ballots at the polling place. This machine is a paper-based voting system that optically scans the marks that you make on your paper ballot and counts the votes electronically when the ballot is inserted. Additionally, each polling place has one accessible touchscreen voting machine designed to assist voters with disabilities to vote independently and privately. For information about accessible voting, see Voting with the Accessible Voting Machine.
