00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,204
Welcome to the demo of the Meridia
electronic Voting system

2
00:00:04,404 --> 00:00:08,074
that we'll be using for the town
meeting on November 13th, 2023.

3
00:00:08,241 --> 00:00:11,544
we're going to have a small handheld
device

4
00:00:11,611 --> 00:00:14,414
that is going to be given
to each voter at check in.

5
00:00:14,414 --> 00:00:16,483
these devices as will have a green button.

6
00:00:16,483 --> 00:00:18,451
That means, yes, that says 1A.

7
00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:20,453
And it has yes next to it

8
00:00:20,453 --> 00:00:24,457
and a no button that is 2b and red
and it has no next to it.

9
00:00:24,724 --> 00:00:27,727
one of the things you'll notice is
there is a number on the back.

10
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:30,764
That number on the back will be there
just so that we can calibrate

11
00:00:30,764 --> 00:00:31,931
and run any kind of tests.

12
00:00:31,931 --> 00:00:33,099
when I open the poll,

13
00:00:33,099 --> 00:00:35,435
it will now allow for me
to press the button

14
00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:38,371
and it will come up with one and say,
okay, on the screen.

15
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:41,341
Now that means that your vote has been
cast.

16
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:44,944
It also allows you during the same poll,
as long as the poll is still open,

17
00:00:44,944 --> 00:00:47,647
you can switch your vote
and it will say 2 and okay

18
00:00:47,647 --> 00:00:49,449
and you can switch your vote
as much as you want

19
00:00:49,449 --> 00:00:51,484
up until the moment that the poll closes.

20
00:00:51,484 --> 00:00:54,788
and then that's where the total results
will show up onto the screen for you

21
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:58,858
so that everyone will see up
on the regular screens for town meeting

22
00:00:58,858 --> 00:01:00,827
where the moderator will
then read them off

23
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:03,396
and we'll have that as our
vote total for the evening.
