I.D. Scanner

Type: component
PROBLEM

Not every voter will use the retina scanner and a physical ID is still the primary legal identity document in most jurisdictions.

SOLUTION

The ID Scanner is a multi-format document reader integrated into the Voter Rotor station entry panel, accepting government-issued identification cards, passports, and driver's licenses from all 50 US states and 47 recognized international ID formats via a combined optical document camera and 1D/2D barcode reader in a single insertion slot. The scanner reads the machine-readable zone on the document, decodes the PDF417 barcode on the reverse side if present, and validates the extracted identity data against the connected voter roll in under three seconds. The document slot is sized for standard wallet-format cards up to 86 by 54 millimeters and the optical reader captures both faces of the document simultaneously via a mirror array inside the slot housing. The ID Scanner serves as the primary verification method for voters who do not use the retina scanner and as the mandatory secondary confirmation when the retina scanner returns a no-match result. The scanner does not retain images of documents. It retains the extracted text fields and the validation result. The distinction matters and the privacy policy explains it in full, which is available at a URL printed on the Vote Printer receipt next to the ballot box.
