Thermal paper for Tally Reports

VotingWorks delivers a starter pack of thick custom thermal paper with every VxScan. Currently, this paper can only be ordered directly from VotingWorks for $1.50 / sheet. Use this order form to order more.

Off the shelf, thinner thermal paper may also be used (please note it lacks printed directions about which side to insert face up) like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/376633-REG/Brother_LB3635_Quality_Paper_8_5x11.html

Marking Utensils

There is no specific recommendation for a marking utensil but it should be an ink pen that dries quickly. No markers.

Seal & Port Blocker Requirements

The VxScan, ballot box, and VxAdmin and VxCentralScan cases should be secured with tamper evident numbered pull-tight seals like this: https://www.cambridgeseals.com/heavy-duty-pull-tight-seal or https://www.mcmaster.com/21075T2-21075T213/

VxAdmin and VxCentralScan micro SD slots should be secured with transfer tamper evident sticker seals like this: https://www.amazon.com/Transfer-Evident-Security-Warranty-Numbers/dp/B07GPGGQ5Y/ VxAdmin and VxCentralScan laptop ports should be blocked with port blockers like this: https://a.co/d/5zHubox
