ABSTRACT:
A voting system employing a plastic registration card having a magnetically recordable section thereon. The voter inserts the card in a recording station which may be at any local convenient location, such as a bank, a post office or the like for recording his election selections on the card. He then presents the card on election day to a precinct voting center where a vote-casting machine reads the information on the card, first to verify the identification of the voter, and secondly, if the identification is acceptable, to tabulate the results. The vote casting machine provides a hard copy output for use at the precinct. It is connected through the telephone lines to a central tabulating unit which compiles voting results from several precincts.
