- emhain.wit.ie
- We propose to design and develop an online national voting system. The current voting system in Ireland is not flexible enough to allow people living away from home or working away from their particular constituency on voting day to cast their vote. ...
- In the last General Election, the Government introduced electronic voting in one constituency. This proved to be quite successful but did not address the problem mentioned above as the voting machines were stand alone and only allowed the registered voters for that particular constituency to vote. This was a continuation of the manual voting system except with increased efficiency. Our proposed system will produce the same efficiency but with the added advantage of flexible location voting. ...

- E-Voting : Critical security flaws in electronic voting system - Fine Gael.
- Naoise Ó Muirí, Fine Gael local election candidate in the Clontarf electoral area has challenged the Minister For the Environment and Local Government to clarify how he intends to address some critical security flaws in the electronic voting system. ”Electonic voting systems were first used in the constituencies of Meath, Dublin North and Dublin West in the last General Election and were used in a further four constituencies during the Nice referendum. The government will be implementing Electronic Voting nationwide for the Local and European Elections in June. “Many voters hesitate to question the Electronic Voting system as they feel they will be branded technology “luddites”. Having worked in the technology sector for 10 years, I am amazed at a number of critical flaws in the current proposal, including: * The absence of a paper trail for the voter to confirm that his/her voting intentions have been recorded correctly * The fact that the counting system itself is developed, controlled and maintained by a small number of private individuals who are not subject to Independent scrutiny. ... According to Margaret McGaley, an Irish expert in the area - ‘The introduction of Electronic Voting in Ireland, in its current form, threatens the integrity of our democracy’. “The media has a large role to play in this process as well, as the Minister has made a number of sweeping statements on Electronic Voting which should be challenged: * He trumpeted the “use of 6 Independent consultancies” to test/retest the system - do we not already know about this government’s use of consultants and reports as an excuse for inaction? * He stated that the PCs used in the counting process will be “security hardened” yet there are technologists in Dublin who will be able to crack anything he puts in place * Cullen was asked to give a guarantee to the Dail and the public that the system was safe and secure and his response was ‘I am perfectly satisfied on all those counts’, but if Microsoft can’t guarantee security, how can this Minister?“The benefits that the new system will bring (accuracy of results, elimination of spoilt votes and speeding up the electoral system) are obvious. However it should not be introduced if it compromises the integrity of our voting data and intentions, the most precious information entrusted to any modern democracy by its citizens. “I am calling on the Minister to reintroduce a paper trail and to automate the counting process in a way that can be independently scrutinized; this will give us a transparent and secure voting process that people can trust. ...

Note that states are not required to purchase computerized voting systems, they can still obtain mark-sense (optically scanned) products, but in order to receive certain of the equipment funds, the plan must indicate that the state will replace all of its lever and punch card machines by the first election for Federal office held after January 1, 2006. ...
- The Presidentially appointed 4-member HAVA Election Assistance Commission, in addition to approving each of the state plans, will also be responsible for administering a host of other tasks, not the least of which include overseeing a 14-member Technical Guidelines Development Committee and a 110-member Standards Board, and making provisions for "testing, certification, decertification, and recertification of voting system hardware and software by accredited laboratories. " The Technical Guidelines Committee must produce a set of recommended voluntary voting system guidelines nine months after appointment, and it is understood that these guidelines would be the ones used by the laboratories in their certification and testing processes. ...
- This resulted in 9 states requesting HAVA extensions, and many others contracting to purchase voting systems that can not possibly be HAVA compliant, since there does not yet exist any official HAVA standards. ...
- You are welcome to attach a copy of the statement by Rebecca Mercuri on HAVA and Electronic Voting to your letter.
- But vendors say their voting machines are certified: Voting systems are currently certified under a system established by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED). ... (See my detailed comment The FEC Proposed Voting Systems Standard Update. ... " Some problems with the FEC standard include the lack of a requirement that vote tallies be independently auditable, the allowance of trade-secret code that may not be able to be inspected should an election contest question the proper functionality of a voting system, and the use of commercial software products in balloting and tabulation systems without any inspection at all. ... Revelations that uncertified software was used in at least two California elections (including the Gubernatorial recall) led to the mandate that voter verified paper ballots be added to their fully-electronic voting systems.
- The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has chartered Project P1583 to develop a technical standard of requirements and evaluation methods for election voting equipment. Based on the structure of the 2002 FEC guidelines, this performance standard will provide detail necessary for increased assurances of voting product accessibility, accuracy, confidentiality, reliability, security and usability. ... Although there are currently no mandates for this IEEE standard's actual application to the certification of voting equipment, it is thought that the states may replace their use of the FEC guidelines with this new document, and that the results of the IEEE project could be incorporated into the HAVA standard (which does not yet exist).
