Abstract
This publication is a report on the exploration of the use of electronic pollbooks (e-pollbooks) in elections. The scope of this report is on usability and accessibility of e-pollbooks, that is, their use by poll workers and voters, rather than on technical features or costs. This document reports on the use of e-pollbooks in the U.S.; their software, hardware, and interface design, usability, and evaluation. Also presented are the processes in which e-pollbooks are used and state laws encouraging or prohibiting their use.Citation
