Not in the Netherlands - we mostly use voting computers. Quite complicated
beasts, with a hundred membrane keys and an overlay with incredibly
small letters indicating the person and party. Of course, we also have
a good few parties - at least five that have a chance of getting into
the government. I've got quite bad eyes, so it's difficult enough for
me, but old people often have to have assistance in getting the right
choice.
