 Voters use a pen to mark a paper ballot that
is then placed in a ballot box at each precinct.
Voters will fill in an oval beside the candidate’s
name they wish to select. When the polls close,
these ballot boxes are taken to a central location,
usually the courthouse, where they are fed
into the Central Ballot Counter, which “reads” the
ballots and tabulates the votes. Voters using
this system will need to carefully check their
ballots for accuracy before placing them in
the ballot box. The Central Ballot Counter
will not count votes in races where there is
an over-vote.
-
A poll worker will issue a paper ballot and
direct you to a voting booth.
-
To select your candidate, use a pen to fill
in the oval beside the candidate’s
name you wish to choose.
After completing your ballot, check over each
race to make sure you have marked the ballot
as you intended. If you make a mistake, simply
ask the poll worker for another ballot.
When finished making your choices, place your
ballot in the ballot box. All ballots in your
county will be counted at a central location
after the polls close. Because your ballot
is counted after you leave the polling place,
you will not be alerted of any over-votes or
under-votes.

iVotronic prevents the voter from casting
two votes in a single race (over-voting)
and alerts the voter of races with no votes
cast (under-votes). In addition, the iVotronic
also includes a paper receipt that remains
in the machine but allows voters to see their
individual votes to verify the machine records
them accurately.
A poll worker will activate the machine for
you to vote.
To select your candidate, touch the box next
to the name. If you choose the wrong candidate,
you can deselect that candidate by touching
the box again. The iVotronic will not allow
you to over-vote -- voting for more people
than may be elected to any one office.
After completing the last ballot page, touch “review” and
carefully look over your choices. To change
a vote, touch the box next to the candidate
or office name and then touch the box next
to your new selection. You may also review
your choices on the paper receipt to the
left of the screen.
When finished making your choices, press
the flashing red “vote” button to cast
your ballot. When the “Thank You for
Voting” screen appears, you have properly
cast your ballot.
