Votes are cast using an electronic voting machine that is configured to transmit the votes cast in electronic form and to memorialize the votes in a persistent and tangible form (such as a printed paper ballot, for example) that is both machine and human readable. To ensure that the voter has the ability to verify that his or her completed ballot accurately reflects his or her voting choices, the present voting machine is configured to securely present the printed ballot for the voter's visual inspection prior to finalizing the voting process. The present electronic voting machine is preferably configured with a read-after-write functionality, wherein one or more scanners read what the voting machine's print head prints, during or immediately after the printing process. The present voting systems and methods are configured such that the voting procedures for absentee and non-absentee voters are parallel and identical, except that the voting card is carried by the absentee voter and not limited to the local polling place.

Les suffrages sont exprimés au moyen d'une machine de vote électronique qui est configurée pour transmettre les suffrages sous forme électronique et pour mémoriser les suffrages sous forme persistante et tangible (telle qu'un bulletin de vote imprimé, par exemple) qui est à la fois lisible par l'homme et par la machine. Pour garantir au votant la possibilité de vérifier que le bulletin de vote rempli reflète parfaitement son suffrage, la présente machine de vote est conçue pour soumettre de manière sûre le bulletin de vote à l'inspection visuelle du votant avant la fin de la procédure de vote. De préférence, la machine de vote électronique est dotée d'une fonction de lecture après écriture, où au moins d'un scanner qui lit l'impression réalisée par la tête d'impression de la machine de vote, pendant ou immédiatement après le processus d'impression. Les systèmes et procédés de vote de l'invention sont conçus de sorte que les procédures de vote des votants absents et non absents soient parallèles et identiques, à l'exception de la carte de vote qui est détenue par le votant absent et n'est pas limitée au bureau de vote local.
