"Electronic (buttons/dials)" for me. The voting machines look a lot like this one: http://www.poconorecord.com/storyimage/PR/20161025/NEWS/161029719/AR/0/AR-161029719.jpg

You color in bubbles and then run them through a machine.

All done by hand for the house. They do a provisional count by hand for the senate ballot papers, then they are sent to a central count centre where they optically scanned, then are run over again after that manually, which is why it takes multiple weeks for senate results to be known in Australia.

No idea since I've never gone to a polling place before. Only by mail.
