How to Build a System - CTRVOTER SERIES

More Detail

Creating a system to manage your sessions should not be an expensive time-consuming project. The CTRVOTER SERIES is the foundation for building your system. You can use the CTRVOTER SERIES immediately to manage your votes and add other components over time. The specifications for the original Kentucky State Senate voting software were that it be cost effective, unobtrusive, manageable, and stable. It surpassed the expectations. Written to work like that software the CTRVOTER SERIES is a completely new and improved version. Now you can benefit from the Kentucky State Senate's development time and expenses by creating your own cost effective voting system based on the CTR VOTER SERIES.

The CTRVOTER SERIES runs on either a Desktop or a Notebook computer using the Windows XP operating system. Desktop computers are usually a better buy, but if you need portability or if you have space restrictions then a Notebook could be in order. Using the CTRVOTER SERIES alone gives you the ability to manage your votes. New votes can be started at the touch of a button and legislative titles selected from a list that you prepare before the session. Unplanned votes are handled by keying the necessary information into the system. To conduct a vote you read the names from the screen and select the appropriate vote box as the member responds. Each time you select a vote the running totals of Yea's, Nay's and Passes automatically updates so you always know the vote count.

Originally, only the Senate’s voting clerk could see their voting display. Next, a connection was added so the Senate President could also view the voting screen. Later, to allow everyone to watch the votes as they progressed, they added an LCD projector and a screen to the system. Finally, they connected a printer so documents could be furnished to all requesting parties. Just as they did, you can build your system in phases. But you have the benefit of knowing the parts that you need to complete your system. Adding other components to this system improves your abilities. A printer is an excellent addition. One of the new low cost laser printers would be ideal but any printer will work. You benefit by having printed documents for your files and to provide copies for the inquiring news media and public.

The addition of an LCD projector and a screen benefits the public by allowing them to follow the voting and totals as they automatically update. Your presiding officer benefits, by knowing when it is time to announce the vote and what to announce. Your members benefit because they can see how their vote was recorded allowing them to request changes if necessary before the final vote is announced.

The hardware components of this system are readily available consumer items. This means you get the cost savings benefits associated with requesting prices from multiple vendors. CTRVOTER SERIES software is priced low to allow you to build a full service voting system at an economical price.

Hardware components are sold seperately.
