DRE Machines

DRE (Direct Recording Electronic)

A DRE machine is a recent implementation of a fully self-operated computer voting system. DRE's are user-friendly and time-efficient which makes them an attractive alternative to traditional pen-and-paper voting.
A DRE machine consists of a user screen for information and ballot display, a keypad involving buttons or a touchscreen, and other assisting tools such as head-phones for the handicapped.

DRE's have been implemented worldwide but most frequently used in countries such as Brazil, India and United States.
