E – VOTING
[attachment=25602]
Purpose Of The Seminar
This Seminar has been developed in an attempt to provide an objective introduction to the issues of E-Voting surrounding the introduction of information technologies into the voting process. Voters’ trust in elections comes from a combination of the Mechanisms and procedures we use to record and tally votes. In this seminar I am going to present the various Electronic voting Method like voting by kiosk, Internet, telephone, punch card, and optical scan ballot, Proms and Cons of all voting types. I have also described how the evolution of various voting machines has been carried out in last 100 eras. There is a discussion on some of the problem found in e-voting machine like Florida’s butterfly ballots design problem. As the new problem known to the people, what is a reaction of the people toward this voting process? Like I have discussed some the well-known issues like Voter Verifiable result, Mercuri Method, Ballot Design Issues and etc.. At the end I have illustrated IEEE performance standard for voting machine.
Introduction
This section is mainly concern of the discussion of the definition of the Voting, Structure of Vote, and Importance of the Voting. The Subsequent Section discuss procedure for E-Voting with the specific need of the Voting Machine.
Voting
This is what the public does to choose the politician they want to run their area or country. Only those over 18 can vote at present
Structure of Votes
The structure of votes depends on the type of Elections. More precisely, It depends on the question that is put forward to voters in the election and Possible answers.
Voting importance
Voting is one of the most critical features in our democratic process. By casting a vote we hold previous politicians to account and express our hopes for the future. Of course democracy is more than votes - it's debate, letter writing, campaigning, consultation - but the vote is how every single citizen can wield real and immediate power. In addition to providing for the orderly transfer of power, it also cements the citizen’s trust and confidence in an organization or government when it operates efficiently. It's incredibly important that everyone can vote without interference, safe in the knowledge that it will be counted. Through the long history of democracy we have learnt that in the pursuit of power some groups are willing to threaten voters to make sure they vote 'the right way'. But if the vote is secret then there is no way for intimidators to know whether someone has voted for them or not - threats become useless. So votes are a vital expression of the people's power, which need to be secret and restricted to only one per citizen.
Raise Your Hand Or Raise Your Voice Or Put Stick in Box
Election has been used to decide various questions for at least 2000 years. In ancient Greece, people voted by putting white or black stone in bucket. Early methods including Shouting out “Aye” or “Nay”, raising hands or depositing objects to be counted.
Mercuri Method
The Mercuri Method of electronic voting, described by Rebecca Mercuri, addresses the problem by having the voting machine print a paper ballot or receipt that is verified by the voter before being dropped into a ballot box.
Brazil uses the Mercuri Method for elections.
The paper is treated as a ballot, it is primary and the electronic records are used for recounts and audits. If the paper is treated as a receipt or audit trail, it would then be used for recounts, if necessary because of legal challenges, or on a random sampling basis to ensure the integrity of the process.
