I am surprised you say "millions".  Does this reflect the illiteracy level?  Or some other factors
affecting ability to complete ballots?   If so, what factors?  What type of voting method could be
used effectively by those unable to use paper ballots?

In the UK paper ballots are standard for all public elections, though there have been some pilots of
other methods of recording votes.  We make special provision for blind voters, visually impaired
voters and others who require assistance.
