Faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective than conventional balloting methods, direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting systems are fast replacing traditional paper-based solutions in many jurisdictions. To increase confidence in the new process, many manufacturers now use printed output to supplement onscreen acknowledgment of voter choices. Viewing the printed audit log behind a secure panel of the voting machine allows individuals to confirm the accuracy of selections made before registering a ballot.
Seiko Instruments provides direct thermal printing solutions to the world’s largest manufacturers of electronic voting systems. Satisfying print requirements for DRE voting machines and for vote tabulation systems, direct provide voting equipment manufacturers with design flexibility. Reliable, accurate, and with few moving parts, Seiko Instruments direct offer a robust and trouble-free solution for any electronic voting solution.
