Abstract:
The present disclosure provides various embodiments of an electronic voting device that provides multiple, fixed viewing angles for viewing a display screen of the electronic voting device, and associated methods for configuring the electronic voting device for standing and sitting voters. The electronic voting device described in the present disclosure is positionable on a support surface in two fixed positions or orientations. When the electronic voting device is positioned on the support surface in a first device orientation (e.g., a standing orientation), the electronic voting device provides a first, fixed viewing angle that enables standing voters to optimally view the display screen. When the electronic voting device is positioned on the support surface in a second device orientation (e.g., a sitting orientation), the electronic voting device provides a second, fixed viewing angle that enables sitting voters to optimally view the display screen.
