[[Voting#Paper-based methods|Paper-based voting systems]] originated as a system where votes are cast and [[Vote counting system#Manual counting|counted by hand]], using paper ballots. With the advent of [[Vote counting system#Optical scan counting|electronic tabulation]] came systems where paper cards or sheets could be marked by hand, but counted electronically. These systems included [[Voting machine#Punched card voting|punched card voting]], [[optical scan voting system#Marksense systems|marksense]] and later [[optical scan voting system#Digital pen voting systems|digital pen voting systems]].<ref>{{cite book |author1=Douglas W.

These systems can include a [[ballot marking device]] or electronic ballot marker that allows voters to make their selections using an [[Voting machine#Direct-recording electronic (DRE)|electronic input device]], usually a [[touch screen]] system similar to a DRE. Systems including a ballot marking device can incorporate different forms of [[assistive technology]]. In 2004, Open Voting Consortium demonstrated the 'Dechert Design', a [[General Public License]] [[Open-source license|open source]] paper ballot printing system with open source [[bar codes]] on each ballot.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gage |first1=Deborah |title=Voting machine gets LinuxWorld tryout |url=https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Voting-machine-gets-LinuxWorld-tryout-3202455.php |website=SFGATE |access-date=16 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210702171419/https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Voting-machine-gets-LinuxWorld-tryout-3202455.php |archive-date=2 July 2021 |date=2 August 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref>
