ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe the I-Vote system for audience response voting at the Olympic Games. The audience members vote by using a $2 handheld device that they can keep as a souvenir. The devices are simple to use, come in multiple designs, and are tradable. These devices do not hold any personal information so privacy is never an issue. The vote results are presented on a large public display, which is loaded with information in the form of graphs that are quickly understood. People can retrieve their personal votes later on the Internet. The system was designed through a process involving brainstorming, creating scenarios, searching for information, doing cognitive walkthroughs, developing prototypes, and revising and refining ideas.

Plain language makes a difference when people vote
The authors report on a study in which 45 U.S. citizens in three geographic areas and over a range of ages and education levels voted on two ballots that differed only in the wording and presentation of the language on the ballots.
The study sought to ...
Notable: an annotation system for networked handheld devices
CHI EA '99: CHI '99 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis paper describes Notable, an annotation system for networked handheld devices. Notable's key features are its separation of the annotation platform from the reading platform and its use of search to link annotations and documents. We outline the ...
Adopting a Plurality Vote Perspective
For three-alternative positional voting and decision methods, it is shown how to decompose the profiles and data sets in a manner which identifies all possible conflict relative to a specified procedure. This approach is illustrated with the plurality ...
