This Paper proposes a novel application of psychometric computer vision analysis. It describes the experimental use case of an interactive voting booth, which is able to retrieve, in real-time, the political conviction of any given person from their facial physiognomy by means of  computer vision. After an overview of relevant developments in the fields of psychometrics, computer vision as well as AI-driven political data science, the article describes the design and the operating principle of the interactive voting booth.
