Brief Description: The Election Systems & Software InkaVote uses a non scored ballot card which can be marked with a standard pen or pencil; however, the manufacturer provides inked styluses for marking ballots. The InkaVote machine holds the ballot in place, with the voter then marks in selected areas. The marks the voter makes go through to a second ballot, which is then tabulated.
Detailed Voting Process: The voter enters the polling place and receives a ballot, which is then secured to the Inkavote machine with a series of clips. Sheets containing election specific information are pre-installed into the InkaVote machine by poll workers, and the voter marks his or her choices through small holes in areas that correspond to the candidate of their choosing. Some jurisdictions use a variant of the Inka-Vote called the Inka-Vote Plus which includes all of the above but also has a precinct-count optical scan system that can scan ballots in the precinct.
