Abstract
A system and a method for facilitating an election. A database containing voter registration information is downloaded from a central computer to a portable computer that is accessible at a polling station. The database can be searched by a proctor or official at the polling station to determine whether a prospective voter is eligible to vote at the polling station. The name or name and date of birth of the prospective voter is entered into a search field of the portable computer and the database is searched. If and when a matching record is found, additional information is displayed on a second screen and the proctor or official can make a determination whether the prospective voter is eligible to vote at the polling place.
