This design was carefully constructed around the image of today’s working society: always busy.
In order to combat excuses such as: “I’m too busy to vote,” “it takes too long,” and “finding a voting place is too hard,” I developed an idea more than an object. A certain computer software would be integrated into every ATM machine across the nation, allowing the machine to not only transfer funds, but also become a voting booth. It would read a voter’s card (obtained at the DPS) that links your voter profile to that ATM–basic personal information and a list of recent votes. Once inserted, pressing in the correct PIN will allow one to vote at any ATM across the nation.
And since there are currently over 400,000 ATMs in the nation, voting never seemed so easy.
THE PLUS SIDE:
Votes would be collected and sorted at a much quicker rate
There will be a seen increase in the overall votes by the population
Discontinue absentee ballots
Decrease voting fraud since it is done electronically
Easier to access and use at any time
Not many people have problems with ATM transfers–why should they have problems voting?
The security cameras stationed at every ATM will ensure protection over voting fraud and abuse.
And the best part–Out of time? Why not vote IN YOUR CAR through an ATM drive-thru. The first and only drive-thru voting system.
