The '''Voting Booth''' was used by the citizens of the [[Starship UK]] to give their own views on the ship's history and situation. People over the age of sixteen were allowed to vote once every five years.The booth used some sort of technology to determine who a person was, and display records on date of birth and marriage status, when available. The computer would not allow non-[[human]] viewing, as demonstrated when [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] could not watch the video. He was however, still able to protest.


After viewing a video on the history of the ship, voters were given the choice to forget what they saw and go on living, or protest to the running of the ship. Those who chose to forget were allowed to record a short video to themselves. They then had around fifteen minutes of their memory removed, including all their knowledge of the video. If a person chose to protest, they were fed to [[Star Whale|the beast]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]'')
==Function==
The booth identified the individual who entered it, and then displayed records relating to that person, including birth and marriage status when available. The booth then showed a video to the voter, describing how Starship UK used a [[Star Whale]] as its propulsion system. After viewing the video voters were given a choice to forget what they saw and go on living or to protest against the running of the ship. If they chose forget about 15 minutes of their memory was removed, this included all knowledge of the video, the voters were however able to leave a video for themselves, following the memory wipe process. Those who did protest were fed to the Star Whale. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]'')
 
==Limitations==
The booths would not allow non-humans (such as [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor) to view the video, however they could still choose the "protest" button. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Beast Below]]'')
