Accessible Voting

Votem offers the most verifiable, accessible, secure, and transparent elections through our CastIron elections management and online voting platform. With support for every kind of voter, including accessible voting for voters who are blind, visually impaired, or have accessibility considerations where traditional voting procedures are difficult.

• Votem allows voters with accessibility considerations to use their mobile devices to independently receive election alerts, research candidates and issues, access their correct ballot styles, listen to the instructions and choices read aloud, mark their ballots on screen, “sign” their completed ballot packages on screen, and return their ballots electronically from their private email accounts to their election administrators, all without the assistance of other people.

• Fully compliant – thoughtful integration of mandates of the federal and recognized access standards including the ADA, HAVA, WCAG 2.0, the Rehabilitation Act (section 504), and others.

• Votem is accessible, innovative, simple, and saves you money by eliminating the need to purchase and maintain expensive and separate ballot marking machines.

With over 35 million people with accessibility considerations of age to vote, a number that will increase in tandem with an aging population, accessibility, and enfranchisement for those with special needs is a large scale and growing problem. Votem will help close the gap of voter turnout for those with disabilities by making it easier to vote.
