A microprocessor based mark-sense ballot card reading system has automatic mark detection threshold adjustment, automatic skew and card speed correction, and provision for simultaneous, accurate reading of both sides of a ballot card regardless of card input orientation A multidispatch, miltipage real time control program is utilized to enable multiple event detection on each card side and asynchronous processing of such multiple events on a two-sided card Positive document sensing and control are monitored by the microprocessor control system A folded card path card transport mechanism with diverter stations operates under microprocessor control to determine card destination

System and method for reading marks on a document

A terminal (30) for marking a paper ballot (43) which lists a plurality of candidates and which includes a marking space for each candidate which can be either hand-marked by a voter, or machine-marked by the terminal. The terminal scans the ballot to determine the ballot format, and then presents candidate selection options to the voter visually by means of an LCD touch screen (47) menu and aurally by means of a synthesized speech menu. Candidate selections entered by means of the touch screen menu or by means of the audio menu are marked on the front and back sides of the ballot in marking spaces corresponding to the selected candidates, and the ballot is returned to the voter in a form which enables the voter to visually confirm that his or her selections have been marked. The ballot, whether hand-­marked or machine-marked, is inserted in a ballot scanning device (111, 112, 113), wherein the ballot is tallied and deposited in a ballot box.

Ballot marking system and apparatus

A novel election ballot counting method and system utilizing data processing equipment and capable of providing an itemized total of the votes cast for each vote choice in an election accommodating ballot format variation including candidate rotation.

Method for tabulating election returns

A voting system utilizing a paper ballot listing a plurality of candidates which includes a marking space for each candidate which can be either hand-marked by a voter, or machine-marked in an electronic voting station. The voting station includes a ballot marking device and a touch-screen voting terminal. If the ballot is to be machine marked, the ballot is inserted into the marking device and candidate selections are presented to the voter on the touch-screen. Candidate Selections entered on the touch-screen are marked on the ballot by the marking device in marking spaces corresponding to the selected candidates, and the ballot is returned to the voter in a form which enables the voter to visually confirm that his selections have been marked. The ballot, whether hand-marked or machine-marked, is inserted in a ballot scanning device, wherein it is tallied and deposited in a ballot box.

Voting system utilizing hand and machine markable ballots

A voting system and method with a voter verifiable real-time audit log is disclosed. The voting system includes at least one voting terminal operable to record a plurality of poll worker actions and a plurality of voter actions taken at the voting terminal. The voting system also includes at least one printer connected to the voting terminal that is operable to print the poll worker actions and the voter actions on a continuous paper roll so as to create a printed audit log in real-time as the poll worker actions and the voter actions are taken at the voting terminal. Preferably, the paper roll is secured within a locked housing such that the audit log is inaccessible to a voter using the voting terminal. The locked housing includes a display window that enables the voter to review a portion of the audit log associated with the voter in order to verify the voter actions printed on the paper roll.
