Sources of computer and other data are used to create list(s) of every Eligible Voter. The List of Eligible Voters contains, at least, the names and mailing addres s for each Voter. For example, by using computers to access Government Tax Records, Social Security and Immigration records, a list of Eligible Voters can be rapidly determined by running computer software programs designed to determine which voters meet eligibility criter ia ( such as age, citizenship or residency status ) to vote in a public election of Government Officials. Voting Session Officials arrange delivery of specially designed MASTER Ballo ts and an optional Voter Data Sheet. Each MASTER Ballot has two parts - a PRIMARY Ball ot and at least one RECEIPT Ballot. For each MASTER Ballot, both the PRIMARY Ballot an d RECEIPT Ballot(s) share an identical, unique group of symbols as a correlating identifier. The identifier (RSID) is randomly generated to be unique and rare, and kept secr et during the voting so as to make any ballot extremely difficult to counterfeit. To maintain privacy, Voters exchange ballots before voting at least once within a voting region. Completed PRIMARY Ballots are mailed or otherwise delivered to Official host on or before the due date for verification, recording, tallying and publication. A telephoneor compute r connected to the INTERNET can also be used to cast PRIMARY ballot votes. By referring to any RECEIPT Ballot having the same the unique RSID as the PRIMARY Ballot, any Voter can use a telephone or a computer connected to the INTERNET to enquire about the status of PRIMA RY Ballot processing, or to verify or report errors in the Official records of PRIMARY Ballot vote selections, or the tallies of PRIMARY Ballot votes. |
