Franklin Junior Single, Adjustable Booth
The “Franklin Junior”
Single, Adjustable Voting Booth
• For years, IS Elections has provided the PakFlatt Franklin® 4-Station Booth
• It is the best booth we’ve ever seen – for both accessibility and general purpose
• Voters with and without disabilities vote at the same station • It’s ultra-durable and packs up easily • It has become a national standard for counties voting on
paper • Thousands of units in place nationally in 32 states • Positive feedback from voters, pollworkers, advocates and
election officials that it’s the best booth that election officials have ever had
The Pakflatt Franklin® 4-Station Booth
Registered in U.S. Patent and Trade Market Office
• Several counties and disability advocates asked
about a “Single” booth
• Some locations might not be able to fit four booths
• Some counties that had Franklin 4-station booths
wanted the ability to buy additional single booths to
complement their 4-station booths (e.g. if a precinct
needs 5 or 6 voter stations, but not a full 8)
• Some counties prefer to stay with single booths but
a booth with the same durability, ease of setup, and
“look and feel” of the Franklin 4-station Booth
Who We are
The Dilemma: Build a Booth at an Accessible Height or Build One at Standard Height?
Historically, booths were “either or” – accessible/seated or standing
Single Booths: Standard vs. Accessible
What if you have long lines – and need extra voting stations for all voters?
Or what if you have an inflow of voters who need an accessible station and don’t have enough?
Capacity Problems
Solution: The Frankie Single Booth: It adjusts in seconds from “accessible”
height to standard height as needed on election day
