Toward a System of Checks and Balances for Electronic Voting Machines (original) (raw)

Proceedings of the 2009 Information Security Curriculum Development Conference

The shift to direct recording electronic machines that has been fueled by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 has raised some important concerns. Some question the security of the machines and the possibility of a manufacturer's political agenda affecting device integrity. Others are concerned with a lack of a paper trail in some jurisdictions for verification purposes during an electoral dispute. After an exploration of the evolution of voting machine technology and the pros and cons of electronic voting machines, the authors offer a system of checks and balances, using both a printed ticket — including a barcode for checksum verification — in combination with peripheral devices that can monitor a voting machine electronically, independent of the voting machine itself.

Vote verification through open standard: A roadmap

2011

Abstract As the technology for e-voting changes day by day along with an evolution of the regulatory environment, many questions emerge. One of these questions is how to allow voters or any third party to verify votes are correctly captured, stored and counted.

A survey: Electronic voting development and trends

2010

Abstract: Any practitioner working on electronic voting (e-voting) seems to have different opinions on the main issues that seem to affect the area. On the one hand–given the criticality and the risk e-voting systems potentially pose to the democratic process–e-voting systems are permanently under a magnifying glass that amplifies any glitch, be it significant or not. On the other hand, given the interest e-voting raises within the general public, there seems to be a tendency to generalize and oversimplify.

Towards an Open Standard Vote Verification Framework in Electronic Voting Systems

Abstract—Vote verification allows voters or other election participating entities to verify that votes are correctly captured, stored and counted. To facilitate the vote verification process, a number of verification techniques (either physical or digital) have been developed to provide an evidence to voters and other participating entities for the assurance of the integrity of election result.
