Abstract
The present disclosure provides various embodiments of electronic devices, electronic voting systems and methods of voting that enable paper documents to be displayed 'under glass' for user review. In the embodiments disclosed herein, a paper viewing area is provided within an electronic device or electronic voting system for temporarily displaying a paper document to a user behind a transparent surface, which prevents the user from touching the paper document. In some embodiments, the transparent surface may be a touch screen and/or a display device of the electronic device or electronic voting system, and the paper document may be disposed behind and viewable through the touch screen and/or the display device when the paper document is displayed within the paper viewing area.
