Voting Machines

Cabarrus County voters use paper ballots when they vote on Election Day at the polls and during Early Voting. After you sign-in at the Registration Station, a poll worker will give you a paper ballot. Mark your selections on the paper ballot with the pen provided to you. Mark a selection for every contest by filling in the oval completely beside your selection of the candidate name or issue.

You must fill in the oval completely and stay within the lines. Only select the number of choices allowed for each contest. To write in a candidate, fill in the oval beside "write in" and fill in the name of your choice.

ExpressVote

The paper-based ExpressVote Universal Voting System uses touch-screen technology that produces a paper record for tabulation. As a marker, the ExpressVote handles the entire marking system, eliminating unclear marks and the need for interpretation of the voter's mark. This machine replaces the AutoMark and will be used for voters with accessible voting needs.
