In addition to the presidential selection, there are senatorial and congressional races, county board races, water reclamation board positions to fill, states attorney, clerk of the courts, about 50 judicial races, etc. etc, etc. In addition to ballot questions. It takes a good 15-20 minutes to fill it out even when I come with a totally completed sample-ballot cheat sheet to copy from. And yes, they're paper. And then you put it into a "box" (electronic reader) in full view. And then you get your "I voted."
