Voting Equipment

Marion County uses optical scanning voting equipment from Elections Systems & Software. The optical scanning system scans your ballot and locates the filled in oval(s), which identify who you have chosen to vote for.

This is a sample of the paper ballot that is used in Marion County.  The ballot will have instructions on how to vote, and also have election specific instructions, such as how many candidates to vote for.  To properly fill out the ballot, completely fill in the oval to the left of your choice.
