The hardware and software of the voting system of an election are described. The hardware consists of a number of computers: desktops or notebooks. The software consists of a number of programs running on these computers to produce a number of spreadsheet files of which election results can be displayed and verified. These spreadsheet files are protected with a password to prevent alterations. A voter also needs passwords for the authenticity of the vote. The vote is then entered into computer memory cells, the spreadsheet files and printed out on a piece of paper for the ballot box. This triple action will make the alteration of the election result difficult and enhance the honesty of the election.
