Embodiment Construction

[0057] As stated above, the purpose of this application is to introduce computer technology into the existing, long-established voting and similar form-filling process by applying digital paper and pen to the electronic collection of ballots during the voting process. As explained below, the incorporation of this technology preserves the long-established and popular pen and paper voting; the use of this digital form of voting enables computer software, hardware, and firmware to provide the following features and advantages:

[0058] ●Vote counting and confirmation of the number of voters;

[0059] Classify votes into good, bad and indeterminate categories using voting rules imposed by appropriate software;

[0060] ●It can quickly manage the complex proportional representation election system;

[0061] Allows rapid management of joint elections (e.g. national / national elections combined with local / European elections on specific polling days);

[0062] Displaying images of ba...

Abstract

A digital pen having a body, a sensor to provide an electronic representation of the pen's position on a writing surface, a memory to store data gathered by the sensor and a memory lock whereby unauthorised access to the data may be restricted.

Description

technical field [0001] This application generally relates to the field of conventional voting devices, methods and programs, and particularly but not limited to, digital paper-and-pencil technology applied to this field and fields similar to voting that require filling / filling forms. Background technique [0002] The implementation of a successful and fair democracy depends on providing and implementing a large-scale and measurable voting process. Historically—and even today—many ballots have been administered using only a simple paper-based ballot counting system that determines elections by counting the total number of ballots after duly marked ballot paper is secretly dropped into a ballot box the elected candidates. Generally speaking, when the election is large enough, a large number of polling stations are required for voters to gather ballot papers and vote by the above method, or, in recent years, this democratic voting can also be carried out by post office or prox...
