In reply to the discussion: This is why I will not be voting by mail [View all]csziggy
(34,120 posts)33. We vote on paper ballots
During early voting since voters can go to any location, the ballots are printed when you check in so they are fresh out of the laser printer. The ballot is put into a folder, you fill out the ballot, insert it into the scanner and put the folder into a box. So the only things you touch that might be questionable are the folders and the pens to fill out the ballots. After we voted in the primaries, one of the workers wiped down the booth and pen I used after I was done. I suspect, but did not observe, that they also sanitize the folders in some way.
