The Voting Booth
Voting Booths may look like complicated machines, but they are actually very easy to use. Here are the five easy steps to using a voting booth:

When you arrive at your polling place, sign in at the front table. After signing in you are given a paper ballot, which you then take to a privacy booth to fill out. You indicate your choices by filling in ovals.
Step 2: Enter the Privacy Booth
Select your canidates by filling in the ovals with the marking pen provided. Proceed to the optical scanner to cast your ballot.
