If the power fails or if there is some other computer failure will my vote be lost?

No. Your vote cannot be lost once you have pressed CAST BALLOT and see the waving American flag. Your votes are stored in three separate places with non-volatile memory, and all data is protected and cannot be lost in the unlikely event that the system fails. The system also has a battery back-up that immediately engages if an electrical failure should occur. The batteries last for 18 hours of continuous use.
