Voting machines

Voting machines are electronic devices used to cast and count votes in elections. They allow voters to select candidates or issues on a screen or through buttons instead of using paper ballots. These machines can quickly tally results, making the voting process more efficient. There are different types, including direct recording electronic (DRE) machines and optical scan systems. Security and accuracy are crucial, as they ensure the integrity of the election. Regular testing and public accountability help maintain trust in the voting process and protect against potential fraud or technical issues.
