No swiping at Swindon with our smart card clocking

The polling system did not quite work at the recent general election. In a few incidents local polling stations could not get all those who wanted to vote into booths in time, in others it was a close run affair or touch-and-go. In Swindon, Steven Taylor, a returning officer, said: “Cars have been queueing, people were standing in queues 140 people long in some places.” He added that he hoped that by the end of polling (10pm), everybody queueing had been able to vote.

There was obviously the odd logistical problem where there were not enough helpers to register the voters and process them in time at some stations. That will not be a problem with the sophisticated automatic Time and Attendance South West smart card clocking system. Our smart card technology solves the problem of recording, monitoring and admitting at the quickest possible rate your throughput – whether it is visitors to a public building or employees clocking in and out at work.

There are no issues with dust or dirt getting on the cards or time taken swiping them since the cards require no contact with the scanner and can be kept in a purse or wallet.
