A voting station in an electronic voting system is programmed for predetermined election contests taking place on a predetermined election day. The voting station includes a display screen for displaying textual and pictorial information and a user selection device for selecting items from said textual and pictorial information to indicate preferences of a voter. In one preferred embodiment, the display screen and user selection device is integrated as a touch-screen display. The display screen presents a slate of candidates for an elected office, each of the candidates being displayed as a selection item including at least a textual name identifier. The voter manipulates the user selection device to select a desired one of the candidates. Then the display screen presents an enlarged representation of information corresponding to the desired candidate together with a confirmation selection item and a cancel selection item. The voter manipulates the user selection device to select either the confirmation selection item or the cancel selection item. If the confirmation selection item is selected, then the display screen progresses through remaining election contests until the voter has confirmed a selection in each election contest. The display screen presents all voter selections on a review screen and presents choices to the voter to change any of the selections. After the voter confirms no further changes, the voting station outputs the voter selections. |
