PAPER BALLOTING

Our Clear Count® paper ballot platform brings a 21st Century surety to 'old-school' scanned ballot tabulation. This platform is a real 'game changer' for all of our clients and particularly for those who require an observable onsite count or can accommodate a 'remote' web-cast paper ballot tabulation and adjudication process.

Federally Cerified, the Clear Count® platform tabulates and stores each scanned ballot as a high resolution image, then uses its ‘ballot inventory system’ to sort, catalog, isolate and display all voter marks. This allows for a ‘digitally interactive’ adjudication of every ballot by designated election stakeholders - it virtually eliminates the ‘Black Box’ effect of legacy scanning technology and brings fully observable transparency to the paper ballot counting and reporting process.

ONLINE VOTING

Election Trust® hosts a truly End-to-End Verifiable (E2EV) remote electronic voting platform, Electa®.

Accessible on any computer, tablet or smartphone browser, this platform provides maximum voter anonymity while, at the same time, providing each voter with a ‘smart ballot tracking’ identifier, a time-stamped emailed receipt, as well as a ‘self-audit’ cryptographic protocol. In other words, a voters can really verifiy her electronic ballot has been cast and counted as intended.
