Clear Ballot’s Latest Innovation in Printing Technology
The Marathon thermal printer delivers high-speed, high-reliability thermal printing of hand-markable paper ballots across polling places and early voting centers. With seamless integration into the PrintNow ecosystem and major pollbook vendors, Marathon gives jurisdictions the flexibility to print only the ballots they need — right when they need them.
DURABLE THERMAL PAPER
Continuous thermal rolls of phenol-free thermal paper made in USA. Printouts far exceed in-state retention requirements.
SIMPLIFIED DESIGN
Thermal printing is mechanically simpler; no toner cartridges, drums, or fuser units to manage mid-election. Ballots print faster, keeping lines moving when it matters most.
BUILT FOR ELECTIONS
Deploy in polling places or early voting. A single hardware platform designed for poll workers, not technicians, featuring easy, one cord set up and low power draw.
Our commitment to paper ballots
Clear Ballot is proud to share that our election solutions fully comply with the March 25th Presidential Executive Order: “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” Clear Ballot will never conceal votes within a barcode.Simple Cleaning and Maintenance
Fast paper reloads and tool-free printhead access mean any poll worker can keep the Marathon running.
Low Power Draw
Our revolutionary thermal printer draws significantly less power than standard laser printers, reducing the need for extra power sources.
Reduces Pre-Printing
With Marathon, you can reduce your reliance on expensive pre-printed ballots and streamline ballot management in the polling place.
