Voting machines are electronic devices that allow voters to select their candidates in an election, replacing traditional paper ballots. These machines can be touch-screen systems, mechanical lever systems, or optical scan devices. After votes are cast, the machines either electronically transmit the results to a centralized system or store them for manual counting. Modern voting machines often include features such as accessibility options for individuals with disabilities, security measures to prevent tampering, and audit trails to ensure the integrity of the vote. With the rise of web3, some voting machines are now integrating blockchain technology to enhance transparency and security in the voting process.
