Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1801758A1] The method involves requesting a voter to release a vote, and recording the voting of the voters by a voting device (2). The voting is transferred from the device to a center (1). The votes are counted and the results of the election are announced, where the external appearance of the device is visibly changed after the voting. The external appearance of the device is changed after the receipt of an acknowledgement signal and before the announcement of the election results. An independent claim is also included for a voting device to release a vote.
