A project to assess voting technology and ballot design
Pages 38 - 39
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the results of a study employing multiple designs and measurements to assess new voting technology and its impact on a variety of voter behaviors and attitudes. While we find the new devices improve generally create satisfaction with the experience and confidence that votes are recorded accurately, there are differences in assessments of different technologies. And issues of the "digital divide" are present.
