computer for example in shopping malls or

5.  Optical Scanning Machines or OSM are
scanning the ballot paper.
 After the successful scanning, the vote is
counted electronically but the paper ballots
are still present for a possible manual
recount.

assignment for each candidate

12.  Herman Hollerith invented a punch card tabulation machine system
 Voters with a stylus punch holes in cards to register their votes
 Mechanical machines counted automatically
 Punch card election results have been very solid in recounts
 Ambiguous ballots ("hanging cards") are extremely rare

13.  In 1937, IBM introduced the Type 805 Test Scoring Machine, sensing
graphite pencil marks on paper by their electrical conductivity.
 In this system voters record their choices on a ballot card by filling
in a circle. They then either place the ballot in a sealed box, or they
feed it into a computer-tabulating.
 The tabulating device reads the votes using dark mark logic&
selecting the darkest mark within a given set as the correct vote.

14.  Provide voting either through a touch-tone system or through SMS
text messages on mobile phones.
 Authentication is achieved through the use of PIN and access codes,
which are mailed to voters ahead of the ballot

15. • The voter directly enters choices into electronic storage with the use
of a touch-screen, push buttons, or similar device.
• The voter’s choices are stored in these machines via a memory
cartridge, diskette or smart card and added to the choices of all
other voters.
•

16.  Eligibility and authentication –only registered
voters must be admitted.
 Uniqueness –no voter may cast his vote more than
once.
 Accuracy –voting systems should record the votes
correctly.
 Verifiability and audit ability –it should be possible
to verify that all votes have been correctly
accounted for in the final tally, and there should be
reliable and verifiably authentic election records.


17.  Secrecy –no one should be able to determine how
any individual voted.
 Non-coerciability –voters should not be able to
prove to others how they voted; otherwise vote
selling and coercion would be facilitated.
 Minimum skill requirement for voter
 Minimal requirement of equipment
 Minimum Time required for vote
