MADISON, Wis. -- With fall elections only two weeks away, Madison is making sure all the kinks are worked out in the voting equipment.

The city clerk's office usually tests the vote-tabulating machines before each election, but this year, they are also looking at some new equipment.

At the polls on Sept. 12, voters will see new "Auto-Mark" machines, which are vote-marking computers that are now mandated under the Americans With Disabilities Act.

City employees are testing and giving upgrades to the new machines that can be run by touch. The new machines have Braille keypads, headphones and can be run with sip and puff devices.

Officials are also cleaning out and testing all 81 vote tabulators, which will be distributed across the city.

"They are testing the tabulators, making sure they process the ballots at the polls. They test them for an over-vote, an under-vote and they'll mark them for each polling place so each tabulator will be tested for the appropriate ballot," said Maribeth Witzel-Behl, interim city clerk for the city of Madison.

The Auto-Mark machines are geared for people with disabilities but anyone can use them at the polls, WISC-TV reported.

The Auto-Mark machines will only mark ballots, and then print them out. The ballots will then have to be run through one of the city's tabulation machines.

The city is under deadline to test the machines, WISC-TV reported.

Officials usually have five days to test the 81 tabulators before they are dropped off at polling places.

Because of Labor Day, the city will only have four days -- and twice as many machines because of the new Auto-Mark computers.
