| 3. | Reasoning: |
"Hart InterCivic's eSlate Electronic Voting System is designed to be easy to use for voters, election officials, and poll workers. The eSlate has multi-lingual capabilities so voters can easily select the language in which they would like to view the ballot. Its very simple interface, consisting of a large wheel and buttons, makes it easy for all voters, even those with limited dexterity, to move through the ballot and make their selections... It [also] includes integrated features to allow independent voting by visually impaired, physically disabled and literacy challenged voters."
