Case Study: VotingWorks achieves a secure, portable, ADA-compliant ballot box with NOVO Engineering

VotingWorks builds a ballot box for about $600/unit with NOVO Engineering

VotingWorks, a nonprofit startup focused on modernizing voting technology, needed a novel ballot box that was portable, secure, and easy for election volunteers to use. They partnered with NOVO Engineering to design and engineer this critical component for their precinct-based scanner system, which had to meet strict election standards and cost constraints.

NOVO engineered a collapsible ballot box with a tamper-evident design that was both ADA-compliant and intuitive for volunteers to set up without tools. The solution met all security standards, was significantly easier to transport than competing products, and was validated through user feedback. NOVO's design and manufacturing choices kept costs low, positioning VotingWorks to compete effectively with legacy providers.
