Patent

CA 2157739

A data collection device and a method of collecting polling data is disclosed, the device including a housing having a front face, back panel, opposite sides and a base, and a visual character display and slot opening on the front face. A central processor within the housing stores data, including preprogrammed data and collected data in a primary memory, and controls operation of the components of the device, including an optical mark reader. The optical mark reader is structured to pull a pre-printed data card through the slot opening for scanning data thereon and transferring the scanned data to the central processor for storage therein. A bar code reader and/or a magnetic strip reader on the device reads encoded data on a respondent's identification card, such as a voter registration card, so that the encoded data may also be transferred to the central processor for storage. The device interconnects with external components such as a remote computer and/or printer to generate and print reports based on the collected data.
