Electronic Voting Machines

In 2003, Roanoke County retired the old lever voting machines, as mandated by the Help America Vote Act, and replaced them with electronic touchscreen voting machines.

You can download WinVote Instructions in PDF format.

Following are instructions for voting on the WINvote machine:

Step One

Read the ballot title and instructions.

Touch the   button on the screen when ready to begin voting.

To make your selection, touch the name of the candidate that appears on the ballot or the “write-in” box to write in the name of a candidate that is not on the ballot.  (The “write-in option is only available if write-ins are allowed for that office.)

If you chose a candidate, a red X will appear and the box will be highlighted in red. 

If you chose “write-in” a keyboard will appear.  Type in the name of the candidate that you wish to write in.  DO NOT write in the name of a candidate that is already listed on the ballot for that office.  Touch the NEXT button and you will return to the ballot page.  Your write-in choice and a red X will appear.  The box will also be highlighted in red.

 
To change or cancel your selection, touch the box again.

Touch the NEXT button to advance to the next page of the ballot or the BACK button to go back to the previous page. 

Review the summary page. 

Review your choices and make changes if desired by touching the office title to return to it and make a change to your selection.

Note:  the office or question title will be yellow if you have not cast a vote for that office or question.

Touch NEXT if you are satisfied with your selections. 

Cast your vote by touching the VOTE button.
