Pen meets Paper to create a rich voting experience.
Alternative Power
"What if you lose power?"
R&D asked themselves that question. The normal answer is that the pen contains enough energy to operate the entire election day without requiring a recharge. But we wanted to go past normal. What if you knew in advance that you were going into an environment that did not have reliable energy sources.

The SUPERBattery by DATEXX is small, light and capable of providing power to the pen for several days. Using energy consumption data from last Novembers election, each pen could be used for signing poll books for all most a week without plugging into a traditional outlet.
