Voters receive a paper ballot with the candidate's names. The ballot is place in a ballot box, and later counted by counting teams at each precinct. The tallies are combined at the county courthouse for county totals. Voters enter the voting booth and record their votes by pulling levers beside the names of candidates. When they are finished, they lock the votes by pulling a large lever.
Election officials open the back of the machine and read the tallies for each office.
The tallies are combined at the county courthouse for county totals. Voters enter the voting booth and record their votes by touching the screen in the box beside the candidate's name. When they are finished, they lock the votes by pressing a VOTE button. The votes, which are stored electronically, are transferred from the voting devices at the county courthouse to a central computer for county totals.
