THis looks similar to the machine we use: www.newsplex.com/home/headlines/Virginia-Moves-Back-to-Paper-Ballots-for-the-Election-338506162.html
We take the paper ballot to a voting booth, then feed it into the machine that tallies up the "bubbles" we marked and the ballot is pulled into the machine in case they need to do a recount(and to keep if from being used multiple times) The screen doesn't show any information about what is marked. It is more like the function menu on a large office copier. My guess is they use it at set up and again at the end when closing down but it doesn't show what I voted. And the ballot is not tied to me personally in any way because I randomly received it from a stack everyone else is receiving their's from.
There are usually three check in tables where we figure out which table has the book for our last name (for example last names A-G, H-L, M-Z) sign the book, everyone goes to the fourth table to pick up a ballot from the top of the pile and then we go to the privacy booths. The ones I see at my polling place look like these: www.thoughtco.com/votes-counted-on-election-day-3322083 but some are completely inclosed with a curtain so another voter would need to be able to identify you by your shoes to know it is you in there.
