Abstract: A voting station in an electronic voting system is programmed for predetermined election contests taking place on a predetermined election day. The voting station includes a display screen for displaying textual and pictorial information and a user selection device for selecting items from said textual and pictorial information to indicate preferences of a voter. In one preferred embodiment, the display screen and user selection device is integrated as a touch-screen display. The display screen presents a slate of candidates for an elected office, each of the candidates being displayed as a selection item including at least a textual name identifier. The voter manipulates the user selection device to select a desired one of the candidates. Then the display screen presents an enlarged representation of information corresponding to the desired candidate together with a confirmation selection item and a cancel selection item.
