Voting Session Language & Settings

Voters have a number of options to change the VxMark interface to suit their individual needs.
To change the language from English to another language select English at the top of the screen. Additional language buttons will display, select the preferred language and then select Done.
Four different color options are available for users. While we provide a short description of who may benefit most from these different options, please note that the user likely knows what setting is best for their disability.
White text, black background - used by a person that finds white backgrounds too bright due to visual disabilities. May also be easier to read when room lighting causes a glare on the screen.
Gray text, dark background - used by a person needing lower contrast. For example, a person with dyslexia may find the screen quieter.
Dark text, light background - as the default this setting will be used by most people.
Black text, white background - used by people who need the highest contrast because of light vision or color perception disabilities or aging.
The default text size is Medium. A user can select Small, Large, or Extra-Large based on their preferences. Select Done to save the selection.
Audio is always defaulted to on when headphones are plugged in. Select Mute Audio to mute all sound. Select Enable Audio-Only Mode to hide the screen. Voters using only audio to navigate through the ballot may want to hide the screen for privacy. Additionally, a voter who has a T-coil neckloop may unplug the headphones and plug that device into the headphone jack.
Headphones should be sanitized after a voting session using the audio-tactile interface. To do so, simply discard the headphone ear covers and replace with a new set of ear covers. Disposable ear covers suitable for VxMark are listed in the Supply List.
All selections above are made for a specific voting session and will reset with the next voter.
