What voting process does your precinct use?

[Minerva]

I recently posted a topic concerning hand counting of votes in a Texas county GOP primary.
It has brought up the sub topic of how people cast their votes.
In my state you are issued a paper ballot and it is tabulated by an optical scanner. The ballots are kept and secured in sealed boxes in case of a challenge they can be retabulated or hand counted.

So with that in mind I would like to ask you election balloting tabulations are conducted in your area.

Just for giggle and grins, list the population of your state. If you don't want to disclose where you live you can round up or down a bit.
I am including some ways to vote that may exist, I'm just not sure if they do.

We woke Canadians use every method possible to count as many votes as possible.

Do the ballots get soggy with poutine?

Touch screen voting booth where a printed ballot is produced behind glass, you review it and then it is stored IN the machine as a physical backup of the electronic vote.

NJ - 9.3 million according to your link.

(You can also vote by mail here - physical ballot you return either in person, via USPS or via locked drop boxes at specific locations)

Arizona uses paper ballots that are tabulated by electronic machines. The only people who don't vote on paper ballots within this state are those who physically aren't able to. Link

Our tabulation machines are set up to accommodate the blind. They wear headphones and it reads the ballot to them. Kind of cumbersome. They can also have a friend help them, they just need to sign forms for that.

Dead voters are counted last.

I used to love the old lever machines, but I think NY has switched them out - I haven't voted since I moved back to NY, so I guess I'll find out this year.

My precinct uses paper ballots slid through a slot in a locked box for later electronic tabulation.

My wife and I use absentee voting and fill out the ballots in the comfort of our home. Then I bring the ballots in, slide them into the box, collect my "I Voted" sticker and boom, I'm in and out in 30 seconds. Take that, tyranny!

A trifle less than 40 million in my state. I think it pretty obvious which one that is.

But there's no one statewide system here. In my state different counties use different methods.

Our ballot boxes are equipped with a separate locked compartment that can be used if the tabulation machine shoots craps on us. When it does all ballots are to be placed in it so it they can be tabulated later.
