Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) are electronic tools used in elections to help voters mark their choices on a ballot. These devices typically allow voters to select candidates or options using a touchscreen or physical buttons, ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities. After making their selections, the device prints a paper ballot that reflects the voter's choices. BMDs enhance the voting process by providing a clear and accurate way to record votes. They often include features like audio instructions and adjustable text sizes, making it easier for all voters to participate in the democratic process.
