Other.

We use very old machines that are sort of like the predecessors of touch-screen machines. It's not really a screen. There's a plastic sheet that looks like a very large paper ballot. You press on the spot next to the candidate's name, and an X-shaped light pops up under that spot to indicate your selection. If you then press on a spot next to a different candidate's name running for the same office, that spot will light up and the other go dark (except in multi-member elections, as to the Freeholder Board or the State Assembly).

You do that for all races, then you pull a lever at the side to register your vote, and the lights all go out.

I don't think that fits under any of the descriptions given.

I put down paper because we fill in the bubbles but really you should have the option for mail-in.

As far as I know, all Austin precincts use touch screen machines.

Philadelphia got rid of our lever voting. I miss it. We now do push button.
