Passage-based question 1

These five questions all refer to the information below. The information is the same for each question.

A state government holds elections each year. In the past, they allowed only in-person voting and voting by mailing in a ballot. They decide to replace the mail-in ballot system with an online ballot system instead.
The new online ballot system sends a mail to residents with a PIN (Personal Identification Number), and then asks them to login with both that PIN and their government-issued Social Security number.
The old mail-in ballot system stored the ballots in a paper filing system in a secured government office, while the new online ballot system stores the votes in a database.

The original mail-in ballot system and the new online ballot system are described in the following flowcharts. Each flowchart uses the following blocks:

Block	Explanation
Oval	The start of the algorithm
Parallelogram	An input or output step
Diamond	A conditional or decision step, where execution proceeds to the side labeled "Yes" if the answer to the question is yes and to the side labeled "No" if the answer is no
Rectangle	The result of the algorithm

Which of the following data is needed by the online ballot system but not the mail-in ballot system?
