Points to consider when choosing your voting system hardware.
| 16 June 08
Voting systems seem to have "come out of the woodwork" over the past two years, and now various solutions are available to meet the basic needs.

Vendors too often emphasise features only available for their solutions, with the result that educators may not discover opportunities to meet their needs better.
