[LINK] NSW evoting system for next state election

[Marghanita da Cruz]

Richard,

We currently trust the Electoral Commission with Postal votes, which is a system of envelopes.

I guess if there is a location and timestamp you may be able to match the signoff with the vote -
though this is less likely at a busy booth on election day.

It is interesting that they are being printed out - is this for the scrutineers or is e-voting optional?

Is the signoff also electronic or is that still paper based?
People do vote multiple times against their own names???
