Abstract (en)

A system comprising a personal computer (4) for overall vote control and processing; a vote collecting module (master 5) with its own antenna (19); and a number of terminals (6), each having an antenna (22) and a vote selecting keyboard (20), and each identified by a respective code. Following display of a question by the computer (4), the master (5) successively polls the terminals (6) by transmitting one identification code at a time and waiting for an answer from the polled terminal. On recognizing its own identification code, the polled terminal sends back the code together with the vote selected beforehand by the user and stored temporarily in the terminal (6) itself. <IMAGE>
