New voting machines


Beginning in 2025, Monroe County voters will use new ExpressVote XL machines, which are designed to enhance voter accessibility, security, and efficiency.

Voting process graphic


The ExpressVote XL displays the full-face ballot on a 32-inch interactive screen and uses touch-screen technology to produce an independent voter-verifiable paper ballot. Voters can review their selections and verify that their vote was recorded accurately before submitting for tabulation. The secure system eliminates marginal marks and the need for interpretation of the voter’s intent.

Visit the Monroe County website for more information, and a step-by-step instructional video on using the new machine may be found below.
