Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machine voting -

A voter will be given a paper ballot. There are ovals next to each candidate. The voter shades in the ovals beside the candidates they want to vote for, being careful not to put any other marks on the ballot or to damage the ballot in any way and to shade in the oval dark enough so the PCOS machine can read it.

When a voter is finished marking the ovals beside the candidates he or she is voting for, it is inserted lengthwise into the machine. It does not matter if it is inserted bottom or top first. The voter does not have to force the ballot into the machine. Once the machine senses the ballot, it will "pull" it through and read it.

If the ballot comes back out, you need to check it to be sure the ovals that you shaded are shaded well and reinsert the ballot into the machine. If it comes out again, recheck it and reinsert it. A voter has four chances to insert the ballot and have it read by the machine. After the fourth time, it is marked as an invalid ballot.

Having your ballot read by the machine should not be a problem if you check your ballot for damage before filling it out and be careful to completely shade the ovals beside the candidates you are voting for. You also want to be careful not to vote for more candidates in a certain race (for example, president) than you are allowed to. In most races, only one candidate's oval should be shaded.
