We do not anticipate that there will be a longer wait to vote than before as the ICE machine can handle up to 4,000 voters in one day. To accommodate all voters voting by paper ballot, the City has purchased an additional 10 voting booths which will be set up on Election Day. ImageCast uses DLNA/UPnP to discover and initiate/control playback on devices in your home network. Voters will now only have to fill in the circle next to their choice instead of having to connect two arrows with a line. One important thing to note is that the paper ballots will now have a circle to fill in next to each candidate or contest. This will allow voters to return the erroneous ballot to the poll workers for spoiling and obtain a new ballot which can be voted correctly.
It will replace all of the other three voting machines that the City was previously using (2 electronic machines and one paper machine).Ī benefit of the ICE is that if there is an error made on a ballot by a voter, the ICE will reject the ballot and state on the screen what error has occurred. This new machine is called the Image Cast Evolution (ICE) and is a paper ballot only machine.
The associationsbetween the vaccination campaign stages and tweet themes suggest that thepublic engagement in the social platform contributed to speedup vaccine uptakeby reducing anxiety via social learning and support.Exciting Changes in the City of Oconto for Upcoming Elections!Īs you may have heard, the City of Oconto (and most other municipalities in Oconto County) has purchased a new voting machine to be used in all Elections beginning with the FebruElection. Tweets about personal issues were mostlyretweeted when the vaccination reached the younger population. An interrupted timeseries regression analysis showed that the Tokyo Olympic Games affected publicopinion more than other critical events but not the course of the vaccination.Public opinion on politics was significantly affected by various events,positively shifting the attention in the early stages of the vaccinationcampaign and negatively later. The ImageCastTM Evolution is a Precinct Count Optical Scanner (PCOS) with an integrated touch screen interface and an internal ballot marker for fully accessible voting. The evolution of the popularity of themes revealed ashift in public opinion, initially sharing the attention over personal issues(individual aspect), collecting information from the news (knowledgeacquisition), and government criticisms, towards personal experiences onceconfidence in the vaccination campaign was established. We identified15 topics grouped into 4 themes on Personal issue, Breaking news, Politics, andConspiracy and humour. Wecollected more than 100 million vaccine-related tweets posted by 8 millionusers and used the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model to perform automated topicmodeling of tweet texts during the vaccination campaign in Japan. The increasing use of online social platforms allows us totrace large-scale communication and infer public opinion in real-time. An effectivevaccination campaign requires government policies and community engagement,sharing experiences for social support, and voicing concerns to vaccine safetyand efficiency.
Vaccines are promising tools to control the spread of COVID-19.
