STEP 1: Sign in at the polls. If you would prefer to use a paper ballot instead of the AVC Edge, you may request one at this time. You will receive a voter card. Insert your voter card into the AVC Edge. Touch the language of your choice (if multiple languages are available in your county.)
STEP 2: Touch anywhere inside the box of the candidate or measure of your choice. A large green checkmark will appear to confirm your selection. To change your selection, touch the green checkmark again. It will disappear and you can make a new selection. Touch the "Next" button in the lower right corner to advance to the next screen. Touch the "Back" button in the lower left corner to go back to the previous screen.
STEP 3: After you have made your selections, a review screen will appear for you to verify your selections. To change your selection, touch the box for the contest you want to change. When finished, touch the yellow button in the middle of the screen to cast your ballot. When you see a green square thanking you for voting, you have properly cast your ballot. Your voter card will automatically be deactivated and will eject from the unit. Return the voter card to a poll worker.
