Ballot Box / Voting Machines

India is voting for a new government and I thought it would be a good time for me to capture how the ballot boxes / voting machines from around the world look like.


US - early 1800's



Probably first voting box that kept count of votes instantly? US - late 1800's

Again US - glass ballot box

US - carton box

US - early 1900's

Tribal ballot box called 'Noken' - Papua, Indonesia

Slovenia

Haiti

Since 1988, France made it compulsory to use clear ballot boxes

Late 1800's - New York

First 'electric' voting machine. Used the punchcard concept

Electronic - swipe your national id card

Similar, slot your ID card and vote

Dual votes - maybe for state and national?

The famous 'pull the lever' machine. Used in New York in 2008.

Turn the dial - and vote!

And our very own - India
