Most parliamentary democracies in the world, including Korea, hold elections as a means of electing representatives or deciding opinions, including the election of the president.

In most of the conventional voting methods, the voting is done in a way that the names and symbols of several candidates and an identification mark made up of a predetermined color for each election are printed on the ballot paper, stamped on the voting part of the candidate to be selected, and put into the ballot box. proceeded

As an example, the name and symbol of a candidate are displayed on the ballot according to the type of election, and the ballot itself or a part of the ballot is colored in green or red depending on the election so that the voter can visually confirm the type of election. Identification marks made of different colors are printed.

When voting is completed through the above method, the election manager opens the ballot box after the voting time is completed and collects votes by manpower.

However, there is a problem in that it takes a long time when the election manager collects the ballot as a manpower, and in order to shorten the counting time, it is necessary to hire more election officials, so there is a problem in that the labor cost rises.

In addition, ballot papers that have been counted are separately counted according to the results of the counting process. In this process, if the counting results and counting content do not match, the inconvenience of having to re-count the ballots or suspicion of fraudulent voting may occur. have.

A lot of research has been conducted on the development of a new electronic counting device to reduce the consumption of time and manpower and for effective election, and various electronic counting devices have been developed.

This electronic ballot counting device includes a predetermined scan device for counting, and by sequentially scanning the ballot papers that have been marked, it is recognized as a method of grasping the image of the ballot papers.

And the image recognized in this way is analyzed through a control module such as a computer, that is, the position of the marked part on the ballot is analyzed to identify the candidate who has been voted.

The ballot papers that have been read in this way are sorted and loaded in the classification module for each read result according to the read result.

However, it takes a certain amount of time to recognize and analyze the marked part of the ballot paper and complete the reading. There are problems such as

To this end, the length of the transfer passage for transferring the ballot paper was lengthened so that the time for completing the reading of the ballot paper and the transfer time of the ballot paper could be matched. There is an increasing problem.

Therefore, a method for solving these problems is required.
