The voter may mark the paper directly, usually in a specific location for each candidate, then mail it or put it in a ballot box. Or the voter may select choices on an electronic screen, which then prints the chosen names, usually with a bar code or QR code summarizing all choices, on a sheet of paper to put in the scanner. [7]
