I saw some mentions in the "how long" thread, so I was curious what everyone is using.
We had the "complete the arrow" optical scan ballots. You?| Promote this thread! |           | JayJayDean

We did, too, except we have this "ranked choice" voting on some positions, where we rank the top-three candidates 1-2-3. It is the stupidest thing ever and we had an entirely separate ballot for those.

Mine was similar to the one above (in the banner), but all of the candidates were on the same side of the page, and you poke this marker-thing through the hole to fill in the circles.

I'm always slightly paranoid that I didn't line it up right.

IRV is the GREATEST thing ever. EVERYTHING should be decided by instant runoff voting. You're LUCKY.

Pull the big red lever to close the curtains, choose the canidates by pressing down a small switch to reval a x next to thier name, and then pull the big lever back to finish the vote. They said in Newsday (the local paper) the county was going to replace these machines this year with touch screens, but I guess it didn't work out during the trial period they had for it in spring during the school budget votes.

You are going to get a certain amount of snarkiness on the Internet no matter what, and my rule is that you don't post anything that you wouldn't say to someone's face.

"Fill in the oval" optical scan as well. I hated these on standardized tests, I hate them now. Better than electronic, I guess.

I'm happy to say, no matter how many times I changed my choice or paged backwards and forwards, everything worked fine. At least I think I voted for who I was trying to vote for.

And yes, instant runoff is brilliant. Don't be afraid.

There's a button to vote straight party, or you can press individual buttons across party lines. A light lights up next to your choices, and you press a button marked "CAST VOTE" to finalize your vote.
