Precinct Count Voting System
Precinct Count Voting System: A voting system that tabulates ballots at the polling place.
Definition
A voting system that tabulates ballots at the polling place. These systems typically tabulate ballots as they are cast and print the results after the closing of the polls. With an Optical Scan System, after ballots are marked either by hand or with a ballot marking device, they are tabulated when a ballot is placed into the scanner. For direct-recording electronic voting machines (DREs), and for some paper- based systems, these systems provide electronic storage of the vote count and results are later uploaded to a central voting system.
