Thanks for the quick reply's, so basically here is how this is going to work..
My organization runs a local pageant, the voting system is going to be used as "people choice" so people who attend the pageant can vote. the "voting codes" are going to be unique numbers printed on each ticket stub, so each ticket holder has a number which on the event date can be used to vote on "peoples choice"
we are planning on having a few laptops or tablets lined up so people can vote during intermission times using their codes.
