What Are The Security Features Of The Ballot?
Position Identifiers / Markers: On all sides of the ballot are position identifiers, whose intersection points would indicate the placement of an oval. This allows the system to accurately locate the position of a mark, and evaluate it accordingly. Bar Code. Each ballot has a unique bar code. This makes sure that each ballot is counted only once, and at the canvassing level, can identify the details of the ballot (the precinct it was casted in, the machine that evaluated the ballot, etc. UV Ink: Each ballot is also marked with a UV ink, which is not readily apparent on casual scrutiny. This mark is visible to the special lens and light of the Automated Counting Machine, which verifies first the presence of the UV ink before casting a vote.
