VOTING PROCESS

                             Look for your name in the Precinct
                              Computerized Voters List (PCVL) posted
                              near the door of the polling place, and
                              determine your precinct number and
                              sequence number.

                             Approach any member of the Electoral
                             Board (EB). The EB will verify your
                             identity and check if any of your
                             fingernails have already been stained
                             with indelible ink.

VOTING PROCESS

                             In some areas, the Voter Registration
                               Verification System (VRVS) will be used to
                               verify the identity of the voter.

                             The voter will put his finger into the scanner
                              and the VRVS will check if his/her
                              biometrics is in the database. If found, the
                              printer will print a receipt confirming this.
