DUO - VOTER ID EDITION

Our DUO Booth can also be supplied in a setup for Voter ID, to comply with the 2022 Elections Act.
This can be provided as a standalone product or with a conversion kit , when purchasing a DUO Booth.
The arrangement provides the voter with a private space to allow an identity check to be carried out by the Poll Clerk in direct line of sight.
