An electronic voting system includes a ballot card, accepting apparatus, and
at
least one voting apparatus. The accepting apparatus issues a ballot card in accordance
with a vote acceptance request. The voting apparatus performs voting processing
in accordance with a vote request using the ballot card. The accepting apparatus
includes an acceptance time recording section which records the acceptance time
on the ballot card when issuing the ballot card. The voting apparatus includes
a timeout detecting section and unauthorized use warning display section. Before
performing voting processing upon reception of a vote request, the timeout detecting
section determines whether or not a preset timeout time has elapsed from the acceptance
time recorded on the ballot card to the time of voting. The unauthorized use warning
display section outputs a warning message when the timeout detecting section determines
that the timeout time has elapsed.
