Microvote MV464 direct-recording voting machine

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Microvote MV464 Electronic Voting Computer (DRE voting machine). Introduced in the mid 1980s (US Patent 4,649,264 filed in 1985), these machines remained in use into the 21st century. The ballot choices are displayed on a paper scroll behind the central glass window, with a column of push buttons on each side of the window used by voters to make selections. Successive "pages" of a multiple page ballot are displayed by mechanically scrolling the paper from side to side behind the glass. Black side panels, barely visible inside the lid, can be unfolded to create a semi-enclosed voting booth. This image was scanned from a 3 by 5 snapshot. Multiple scans were superimposed to help reduce the impact of artifacts caused by the scanning process before editing to remove a very cluttered background.
