The exit button allows to remove a card from 
    the reader and returns back to the election screen. It does not 
    shutdown
    system. To shutdown the system you have 
    to change registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Global Election 
    Systems\AccuVote-TS\Shutdown to 1 and change it to 0 to exit to 
    windows.
