Abstract:
A voter cart capable of supporting a voting terminal, optical scan ballot counter and ballot box, and multiple (collapsible) voting booths in a portable, fully usable and secure configuration. The cart is generally formed with a pair of opposing side-rails joined together in a spaced-apart configuration and mounted on castors, and a plurality of reinforcing struts between and amongst the side rails. The touch-screen voting terminal is seated atop a sliding shelf mounted on roller-brackets between the side-rails and extensible from one end thereof at waist-level for easy wheelchair and/or any other voter access thereto. All the loaded equipment is fully restrained against lateral and vertical motion, and yet all equipment is given full access to their control panels, doors, etc. Moreover, the particular design maximizes strength and usability, and yet keeps weight to a minimum with a framework that is as light weight as possible.
