Reduce Waste

A more sustainable approach to elections.

With some voting equipment, preparing for an election means creating paper and ink waste that is harmful to the environment. ES&S’ Universal Voting System family of products uses a combination of electronic marking and thermal paper to create a secure and more sustainable alternative.
