Following a program of intense product development and in response to directives set out in the Elections Act of 2022, Pakflatt has now received initial orders from several early adopting local authorities in the UK.

Building on his experience since the 2001 General Election, when he led the team that invented and deployed a tactile voting device (TVD) for the blind, Patrick McGonagle set about inventing an audio assisted version of his TVD to achieve this objective.

His now patented McGonagle®Reader system (MGR) has been exhaustively tested by NCBI with blind voters in Ireland, at by elections in England, at some polling stations in the UKPGE in July 2024 and most recently by RNIB, where it scored 93% effectiveness with blind people.
