AutoMARK Ballot
Marking Machine
INFORMATION FOR
VOTERS WITH
DISABILITIES
Currently in Weston County all
polling places are accessible
to persons with limited mobility.
There will also be at least one
(1) AutoMARK marking machine
at every polling location. This allows a person with a disability to
mark their ballot with little or no assistance whether
they have a visual or dexterity disability and they
place their ballot in the M100 for tabulation. According
to Wyoming statute 22-13-113(a) “…any elector who
requires assistance to vote because of blindness, disability or inability to read or write may be given assistance by a person of the elector’s choice, other than
the elector’s employer or an agent of that employer or
an officer or agent of the elector’s union.” If you need
further information you may contact the county clerk’s
office. There are many reasons a voter may wish to
use the AutoMARK, please call the county clerk’s office for more details.
