Abstract: A method for a voter to vote using an electoral system. An electoral system includes a computing system for accessing a database having first and second data sets correlated to a roster of eligible voters and to a voting record that is associated with each of those eligible voters. The method of voting includes the voter providing indentifying information, which causes the computing system to verify that the voter is on the roster of eligible voters and eligible to vote in the election. The voter interacts with the computing system to cast a preliminary vote and then commits the preliminary vote. The voter may also interact with the computing system to perform a government accountability program in which elected officials may be voted on for sanctions or removal from office when the elected official has lost the confidence of the associated electoral district.

Abstract: A system and method for a voter to vote using an electoral system (100). The electoral system (100) includes a computing system (101) for accessing a database having first and second data sets. The first data set is correlated to a roster of eligible voters; the second data set is correlated to a voting record that is associated with each of those eligible voters. The method of voting includes the voter providing indentifying information, which causes the computing system (101) to verify that the voter is on the roster of eligible voters and eligible to vote in the election. The voter interacts with the computing system (101) to cast a preliminary vote and then commits the preliminary vote. When the preliminary vote is committed, the computing system records an information indicative of the preliminary vote and updates the voting record in the second data set associated with the particular voter.
