  1. Re:Why trust touchscreens? on Why Does a Voting Machine Need Calibration? · · Score: 1

    I electronically pre-polled in a recent election in Canberra, Australia. Polling day is still pencil and paper AFAIK.

    The list of candidates appears on screen (27 in this case), presumably observing the Robson Rotation. To the right are arrow keys, a submit and finish button. Probably a clear all button too. One candidate's name is highlighted, navigated to by the arrow keys, pressing the submit key assigns them a number. So the first gets a 1, you move to the next choice, submit, they get a 2 etc.

    When you're happy, press finish, and just walk away.
