This seems very odd to me as it seems like a voter would be able to easily make multiple votes. For example, the voter registration official could be either corrupt or incompetent and simply allows given voters to vote more than once. Or, a voter could make votes at several different voting stations. It is great that the machines limit the amount of votes per minute, but some might argue that even just one extra vote is a serious concern.
