Ballot marking devices

Ballot marking devices (BMDs) are specialized machines used in elections to assist voters in marking their choices. They provide a user-friendly interface, allowing individuals to select candidates or issues on a screen, which then prints a paper ballot reflecting those choices. This helps ensure accessibility for voters with disabilities and provides a physical record for verification. BMDs enhance the voting process by combining technology with traditional methods, aiming to improve accuracy and security while maintaining the privacy of the voter's selections.
