Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) is a voting system that allows voters to cast their ballots using electronic machines. These machines display the candidates and issues on a screen, enabling voters to make selections by touching the screen or using a keypad. DRE systems often include features like audio assistance for visually impaired voters and can provide immediate feedback on the selections made. After voting, DRE machines typically print a paper record of the ballot, which can be used for verification and auditing purposes. This technology aims to streamline the voting process and enhance accessibility, while also ensuring the accuracy of the election results.
