If this is the system that does not print a full-text paper ballot that
supports independent hand and scan counting, it should be opposed until
improved. If this is the system that encodes the votes in a bar code, for
subsequent scanning by tied-in electronic equipment, it should not be
trusted.

Has anyone been in contact with the Open Voting Consortium?

We are currently developing a prototype version of free voting software to
run on very inexpensive PC hardware. OVC voting systems will accommodate
different languages and scoring methods, as well as voters with special
needs. The prototype software development effort is housed at
SourceForge.net .

Please try our web demo voting system that allows you to enter your votes
and see a ballot as it would be printed in a polling station.

We expect to be fully operational with the certification of version 1.0 of
the Open Voting software.  Meanwhile, our demo is scheduled for 1 April 2004
10:00 AM at the Santa Clara County government office building at 70 W.
