Abstract: An interactive method of voting wherein the voter is issued a voter-specific identification code which allows the voter to call an interactive telephone system which asks the voter questions and then checks a database to confirm the correctness of the answers. If the answers are correct the person calling is confirmed as the person identified in the voter-specific-identification code. The interactive telephone system polls the voter and records the voter preference on issues or candidates. Once the vote is completed the link between the voter identification information and the vote is severed thereby ensuring the secrecy of the ballot while still maintaining a record of who has voted.
