Welcome
to eSlate
Although different in appearence, Kane County's
eSlate voting system is just as easy to use as the previous
punch ballot... and much more secure!
The
eSlate’s ballot navigation system provides a level of
accuracy and flexibility that competitive systems cannot match.
The equipment is based on the newest technology, purposefully
bypassing older-generation touch screen interfaces, which
have a higher maintenance cost and other associated risks,
including the need to recalibrate, decreasing clarity due
to surface abrasions, poorly defined target zones, damage
in field use, limited accessibility for special needs voters,
limited flexibility in ballot design and illumination issues.
The
eSlate has been designed to include a state-of-the-art optical
encoder, called the SELECT Wheel, as its primary voter interface,
making the eSlate the most accurate device on the market for
clearly recording voter intent. This technology provides 100%
positional accuracy at all times and eliminates problems generally
associated with touch screen systems.
In
addition, the eSlate features a secure, real-time embedded
operating system that is not Windows-based and therefore provides
enhanced security. This is the same operating system used
by industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin, Exabyte, Tektronix,
Motorola and many others in critical medical applications,
automobiles, precision laboratory measurement devices, satellites,
and even military aircraft. For these types of applications,
failure is not an option. The election process is no less
critical. |
