ABSTRACT:
An electronic memory stores votes cast for candidates by means of voting switches which are actuated by the voter. Shields mounted on hinges can be positioned over the switches. The shields have cut-out portions thereon which expose the switches. The voter can select from one group of candidates when a shield is positioned over the switches and from another group of candidates when the shield is not positioned over the switches. Switch means operated by movement of a shield on its hinge connects the switches to one portion of the memory when the shield is positioned over the switch and to a different portion of the memory when it is not so that the same switches can be used to vote for two or more different groups of candidates. A personal choice keyboard is provided. The keys actuate switches which are connected to the electronic memory for storing therein alphabetic representations of personal choice candidates selected by each voter.
