The DS200 precinct vote scanner and tabulator combines the best attributes of a paper-based ballot system with the flexibility and efficiency of the latest digital-image technology – taking traditional optical-scan ballot vote tabulation to a new level. The DS200 is the industry’s most widely used digital precinct scanner. At Early Voting and on Election Day the DS200 will read and tabulate each ballot as it is inserted by the voter. Ballots printed from the ExpressVote machine will also be placed in this tabulator by the voter.
