Accessibility units are voting machines that have special features for voters that may be unable to vote their ballot in the standard way. Functions like audio assistance, font control, visual color contrast, touch screen input, and input through devices like lap paddles and sip-and-puffs allow for voters to know what is on their ballot and vote with confidence. The unit prints a ballot that is then sealed in an envelope and signed just as any other ballot is before it is deposited in the drop-box.
