Abstract: The method includes using a voting computer to represent the user selected voting options gathered by a voting application running in the voting computer, using an element that has a machine readable format such as a barcode, recording then the element in a physical media using a printing device connected to the voting computer, so that it is suitable to be delivered by the user using a physical channel such as a postal service to the electoral officers. Once the delivered physical media is received by the intended destination (e.g., election officials), the method introduces the step of reading the element information contained in the physical media using a reading device connected to a retrieving computer. Finally, the method introduces a process for generating a physical ballot in the retrieving computer using the information delivered by the voter and a printing device.

Abstract: The method uses a computer voting selection application suitable for execution in a remote environment by a remote user for obtaining in a local site a marked ballot from the voting selections made by the remote user. It includes generating using a remote voting computer an element representing in a machine readable format an information of the voting selections made by the remote user, recording this machine readable element in a first physical support, and sending this first physical support through a physical delivery channel to the local site where the machine readable element from the physical support is read using a reading device, and the voting selections made by the remote user are retrieved using a retrieving computer. A record representing the remote user voting selections retrieved is then obtained and processed by an electronic counting device that counts voting selections from images obtained from the obtained record.
