Abstract
An electronic voting system (20) includes a central judges station (22) having a detachable flash memory cartridge (42) for use in storing election data. The data contents of the memory cartridge (42) are shadowed by identical storage in a separate flash memory module (74). The memory cartridge (42) is retained by a password-protected solenoid lock mechanism (44) to preserve the integrity of election results. The station (22) is networked to a plurality of voting booths (24 and 26) that provide ballot selections to the judges' station (22).
