ABSTRACT:
An improved voting machine particularly suitable for use in harsh environments is disclosed which features a control box which is operated by an election official individually activating the machine before each vote is cast. The control box may be disposed at a distance from the voting machine and is connected thereto by a permanently attached flexible cable, whereby the machine is rendered essentially foolproof yet durable in service. The machine is provided with first locking means to enable viewing of the tallies on the vote counters and second locking means prohibiting resetting of the counters except by authorized persons. A counter is also provided to provide a count of the number of times the tallies are reset to zero.
