Curious: What is your method of voting?
|
Can't Post
|
|
I heard a rumour there might be an election happening somewhere.
It got me wondering how people vote in different countries. Here in New Zealand we are old-school: cardboard booth, a big fat marker pen and a piece of paper, tick your choices, fold your paper and shove it in the box.
What method is used in your neck of the woods? Do you use fancy technology? Fingerprints?
What say you?

In Texas, we pull out our revolvers and shoot a hole next to the name of our favorite candidate.
