TESTIMONIALS
Poll Pad ease of use and flexibility has allowed Fairfax County to dramatically decrease preparation time and post election audits, while simplifying the process for the election workers at the polling place. The support and turnaround time on any inquiries we have is first rate.
We purchased 13 poll pads in time for use in the May 2016 Election and we are EXTREMELY happy with the ease of use and functionality of the poll pads. Checking voters, the reports you can run and the way it updates is amazing and saves so much TIME!
Both our election workers and our voters were impressed with the efficiency, intuitiveness and simplicity of the KnowInk Poll Pads. We experienced significantly fewer set up issues than we had with our older equipment. Check in was faster for the voters, and tear down was super simple for weary workers at the end of the night.
