Abstract (en)

A user interface for voting systems based on a standard computer screen and a mixture of direct and indirect voting. On the first screen, the voter can choose from a limited number of candidates of a limited number of lists or one of the lists. Per voter, depending on the constituency, a choice can be offered. All lists and a part of the candidates are represented on the screen in the form of a string of buttons. When selecting one of the lists, a second screen appears on which the list, selected on the first screen, is depicted with a string of all candidates of this list. For the partly-sighted, with a screen operating button, a switch to a larger size can be made and, with different operating buttons, the represented candidate section can be shifted. The selected candidate and matching list are highlighted and the personal particulars of the respective candidate are represented on a part of the screen especially destined therefor before the vote is confirmed with the voting button. <IMAGE>
