Voting device



The Voting Devices are handheld electronic devices with a touchscreen display that show all of the remaining contestants' faces. The cast uses the device to cast their votes at the Awards Ceremony to select who they want eliminated from the game.

Design and Purpose
The devices are electronic and have a fairly simple design. They are composed of a black box with a digital screen and a small red light on the top. Displayed on the screen is a scroll-through list of the heads of every currently active contestant left on the losing team in Total Drama Action.

Occasionally, it will also show the faces of other contestants that are not supposed to be listed, such as eliminated contestants or even people who are on the opposing team. When using the device, the voter would press the box, marking that contestant as the one they are voting for. An "X" would then show up next to the head of the person they wanted to vote off.

Post-Total Drama Action
The voting devices do not appear in any seasons afterwards. Passports became the Total Drama World Tour counterpart, along with the stamps used to mark the passport of the contestant that they want eliminated. Later, Marshmallow became the Total Drama: Revenge of the Island counterpant.

Trivia

 * Total Drama Action is the only season so far to feature a known elimination method outside of the confessional, as it is implied that the contestants vote in the confessional in other seasons.
 * The voting devices are the only electronic objects that are used for voting.
 * Gwen and Lindsay were the only contestants to use the voting devices to vote themselves off.
 * However, Lindsay was the only one who was actually seen voting herself off, while Gwen admits to unwillingly intentionally doing it in a confessional.

Goofs

 * In Alien Resurr-eggtion, Chris says that if anyone peeks at another castmate's voting device, they will be automatically eliminated. However, this happens in several cases and Chris does not eliminate anyone or even notice anyone doing it.
 * Bridgette and Beth's ponytails are occasionally missing when their faces appear on the voting device.
 * In Rock n' Rule, Beth's picture on the voting device depicts her in her swimsuit instead of her regular outfit.
 * Contestants who have already been voted off or aren't on the team that is at the elimination ceremony occasionally appear on the voting device.
