How does the voting process work on the new system?
If youve ever used an ATM or even a microwave, youve used the same simple touch screen technology the new voting units employ. When you arrive at the polls, youll check in just as before, signing a voters certificate, and showing ID. Then, instead of receiving a paper or punch card ballot youll be handed a voter access card programmed with your ballot information. This card unlocks the voting machine. It contains no personal data about you or your vote. Proceed to the first available voting unit. Insert the voter card in the slot at the lower right hand side, and push it in firmly until it clicks. The first screen youll see is the Instructions Page. Read these carefully, then touch Start to begin voting. The first page of the ballot is displayed. To make your choice, simply touch the box next to the candidates or questions. An X will appear next to your choice. To change your choice, touch the box a second time. The X will disappear. Then make your new selection.
