VxPollBook is an electronic poll book developed by VotingWorks which aims to make the voter check-in process as fast, easy, and secure as possible.
If you're a poll worker looking for instructions on election day, read the poll-worker-election-day-guide.md.
If you're an election manager, system administrator, or other election official, read through the following instructions and checklists to learn how to use VxPollBook from the start to the end of an election.
- Fast Voter Processing - The check-in process is designed to be as fast as possible. Large fonts and on-screen guidance mean training takes minutes rather than hours.
- Easy, Secure Networking - VxPollBook is designed to operate without an internet connection. At each precinct, poll books automatically connect to one another to form a wireless "mesh network." There's no need for wi-fi or special network setup at every location.
- Paper Backup - Print an up-to-date paper checklist at any time. Switch to the backup in minutes if you need to.
- Transparency - VxPollBook is the only open-source poll book on the market, meaning that all code is publicly available at https://github.com/votingworks/vxsuite.
