19 Voting Interfaces Election Integrity -> Recorded Vote Accurately reflect voter s intent Case 1: Butterfly Ballot Design Voter mistakenly record their intent. Need : Design User friendly interface with the Voting Machine as well as satisfying the above requirement Complex Interface Problem with Complex Interface Ballot Review of ballot design is difficult Required Extra Step Assistance for Elder People Difficulty with the interface was correlated with age and education. 2/2/2005 patelc@sit.iitkgp.ernet.in 19
20 Survey A University of Maryland study conducted an exit poll on voters using Diebold s AccuVote-TS touch-screen DRE machines in two counties in Maryland. 3% of voters encountered technical problems, 7% of voter reported that they were not easy to use 9% of voter asked for assistance using the machines Difficulty with the interface was correlated with age and education. 21% of the voters 65 years or older asked for help 5% of the voters between 35 to 49 years asked for help 16% of the voters between 18 to 24 years asked for help (might be largely due to inexperience with voting in general) The amount of assistance required does play a role in voter trust in a voting system because that help will usually come from a poll-site worker. Voters who ask for he risk compromising their anonymity, and voters who need assistance might be reluctant to ask for it because of this or just personal embarrassment. 2/2/2005 patelc@sit.iitkgp.ernet.in 20
21 Vote Recording How voter can verify the vote? It is recorded Properly or not.. Solution : Mercuri Method Voter Verifiability Ballots Source: Safevote Inc. 2/2/2005 patelc@sit.iitkgp.ernet.in 21
22 FEC Guideline Provided FEC Standard More Focus on Mechanical Reliability Coding Standard Design Standard Perform Logical and Accuracy Testing At Pooling Booth Complicated Design Ballot complexity (Display 135 candidate for election) Support of multiple language Ballot rotation (Limitation of the Touch Screen) Write-in votes Vote for many Changing the font size on screen 2/2/
23 IEEE Voting Equipment Standard (1583) Provide technical specifications for electronic, mechanical, and human factors that can be used by manufacturers of voting machines or by those purchasing such machines. - Approved on June 14, Develop an evaluation standard for election voting equipment that test the Accessibility Accuracy Confidentiality Reliability Security Usability 2/2/2005 patelc@sit.iitkgp.ernet.in 23
24 Help America Vote Act (HAVA) A Federal Law passed in 2002 to reform voting technologies and procedures, has raised the bar. It requires that by January 2006, all voting systems must: allow disabled voters to vote independently and privately allow voters to change or correct their votes before casting a ballot notify the voter of an "over vote" where too many candidates are selected produce a paper record that can be audited and recounted provide alternate languages for voters with limited English proficiency 2/2/2005 patelc@sit.iitkgp.ernet.in 24
25 Seminar on E - Voting Conclusions Voters trust comes from combination of the mechanisms and procedures we used to record and tally votes Use of the E-Voting also based on the perception of the people. Result of the Election also based on the ballot design Voter Verifiability is used to increase the trust of voter. Method like voting by kiosk, Internet, telephone, punch card, and optical scan ballot. 2/2/2005 patelc@sit.iitkgp.ernet.in 25
