In L.A. we use the Inkavote system. You insert your scantron ballot card in the slot below the election booklet, you open the booklet see the candidates or issues with holes next to them. You get a little pen thing and poke it into the correct hole and it marks the scantron ballot card. When you turn the page, the dots are further to the right, and you continue the process.

When you're done, you hand the ballot card to the old guy running the scantron machine, he tears off the top and hands it to you, and then you insert it into the machine to be counted. Then he stickes an "I Voted" sticker to your shirt or hands it to you if you're a lady, and you go on your way knowing you did your civic duty.

That sticker will (or would have) got you a free cone at Ben&Jerry's.
