Vote wisely.
The picture below from is from over 40 years ago and shows a mock-up card in the first voting machine to be used in a Torontro municipal election (Dec.6 1976 in East York). To vote one inserts the stylus beside the candidate - the computer tallies the vote and the punch cards are retained for permanent record.
