General Information, Permissions, and Voter Success Message

General Information

Any device with an active internet connection and with internet browsing capability can be a kiosk. Most common devices include tablets, laptops, or desktop computers.

How different is an elector's experience with Kiosk Voting?

An elector's experience of interacting with the Voting System is largely the same as that of an elector voting remotely. The following are the slight differences in experience:

Any external links included in the ballot are disabled when an elector is interacting with a ballot from a configured kiosk, to prevent accidental and unwanted navigation elsewhere.
After elector submit their ballot, they are automatically logged out so the machine is ready for the next person if there is a queue of individuals.
Votes made by an activated kiosk are logged as kiosk votes in the Election Log section.
Voting receipts by default are still issued and accessible to electors, should they login from another device.

Kiosk Activation Permissions

By default, all super users can activate the Kiosk Voting Website on any device. Super users can also configure other Users to have more limited permissions, including whether or not such users can activate kiosks. For more information about creating and configuring users, please see Account Management.

In essence, any non-super users must be configured with full access for the permission Kiosk Activation, otherwise such users will not be able to activate the Kiosk Voting Website on any device.

Kiosk Voter Success Message

To manage the Success Message that is unique to kiosk participation, navigate to the Settings page in the upper right and click on the Kiosk Voting Website subsection.

Review the default wording and adjust or format the text as necessary. The Success Text is common to all activated kiosks, and cannot be individualized for specific kiosks. In the example below, the message was shortened and bold formatting for emphasis was added. Once you have updated the text, click the Save button to keep your changes.
