A Ballot Marking Device (BMD) is an electronic tool used in elections to assist voters in marking their ballots. It typically features a touchscreen interface that allows users to select candidates and make choices easily. After the voter completes their selections, the device prints a paper ballot that reflects their choices, ensuring a physical record of the vote. BMDs are designed to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities, providing features like audio instructions and tactile buttons. They help ensure that the voting process is accurate and secure, contributing to the integrity of the electoral system while accommodating diverse voter needs.
