Polling Place Features

Note: The information in this chart is based on a NASS survey of state election offices. Forty-two states and American Samoa responded to the survey. In general, the terms used in this chart mean the following: an Electronic Poll book is a device used to check-in voters at voting locations; Ballot on Demand is a system that allows for printing of ballots at voting locations or election offices; and a Vote Center is a central location in a county or other election jurisdiction where voters from multiple precints in that jurisdiction can cast a ballot.

For other NASS resources on polling place related activities, see state poll watcher and voter challenge laws and state electioneering boundaries/laws.
