Help Test Pennsylvania’s Voting System

If you are a Pennsylvania voter with a perceptual, mobility or dexterity, or cognitive disability, we need your input.

The Pennsylvania Department of State conducts examinations of all voting systems that are used for elections in the state — including all accessibility features.

During the week of February 25, the Department of State will hold an examination of the Hart Verity Voting 2.3 voting system. We need voters with disabilities to try out the accessibility features. To help us learn whether this voting system meets your access needs. You
will:

▪ Mark, verify, and cast a sample ballot with any assistive features you would normally use.
▪ Provide input about your experience and identify any issues you experienced.
▪ Suggest ways the system can be set up to be easier for you to use.

We can schedule an appointment for the days and times listed below. We expect the test and your feedback to take 30 – 60 minutes.

When
-Wednesday, February 27 from 1 pm until 5pm
-Thursday, February 28, from 9 am until 5 pm
-Friday, March 1, from 9 am until 5 pm

Where
Capitol Complex – Finance building, G-24B
