[This is a demonstration of the Prime III voting system followed by a demo of Balloting. Balloting is the process of filling out a ballot online or on your phone before an election that results in a QR Code representation of the ballot. On Election Day the voter brings the QR Code to the voting machine, scans the QR Code on Prime III and the system brings up the review screen with the ballot selections. This significantly decreases voting times and errors.]
The Prime III software is available for free, and several manufacturers, including the manufacturer of the touch-screen machines currently used statewide in South Carolina, are considering using it, according to Gilbert.
The system will be used in a few select voting precincts in Wisconsin on April 1, marking the second time it is being used in a binding statewide election. The first time was in 2012 during the presidential primaries in Oregon at several rehabilitation and independent-living centers.
Prime III can also be used through Gilbert’s other voting systems: Balloting and TeleVoting. The Balloting system enables voters to fill out their ballots online or through their phone. Once the ballot is completed, the voter will get a QR code that can be scanned at a Prime III-enabled voting machine to speed up the voting process. According to Gilbert, the Balloting system is already being implemented in several next-generation voting machines.
Televoting allows military and overseas voters to fill out their ballots through Prime III online and have it printed back at their home precinct. The system will be introduced this year through a pilot program in Okaloosa County, Fla.
