How does mark sense voting work?

Mark sense voting involves voters marking their choices on a paper ballot using a pencil or pen, typically by filling in a designated oval or bubble. After voting, the completed ballots are fed into a scanner that reads the marks and tallies the votes. This method combines the simplicity of paper ballots with the efficiency of electronic counting, allowing for quick and accurate results while maintaining a physical record of the votes. Additionally, many systems include features to verify the integrity of the ballot and ensure voter anonymity.
