Program Title
2020 Seminole County FL Innovating during a Pandemic to Promote Safe Public Participation
Program Summary
To keep voters safe, the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections wanted to offer disposable styluses on Election Day. The cost, however, would have exceeded $250,000. Instead, they invented their own disposable stylus using Q-tips, aluminum foil tape, and mineral water to conduct electricity from the voters hand to the tablet. The creative effort allowed Seminole County to provide voters with disposable styluses at a minimal cost and was recognized by several national press outfits.
