Quotes

...Again, we should study how other countries do it-the following description is about the electronic voting system in Venezuela. "Venezuela employs one of the most technologically advanced verifiable voting systems in the world, designed to protect voters from fraud and tampering and ensure the accuracy of the vote count. Accuracy and integrity are guaranteed from the minute voters walk into the polls to the point where a final tally is revealed. "The system Venezuela uses has some of the most advanced and voter-friendly security features in modern elections. Voters use a touch-sensitive electronic pad to make and confirm their choices. After confirmation, the electronic vote is encrypted and randomly stored in the machine's memories. "Voters audit their own vote by reviewing a printed receipt that they then place into a physical ballot box. "At the end of Election Day, each voting machine computes and prints an official tally, called a precinct count. It transmits an electronic copy of the precinct count to the servers in the National Electoral Council's central facility, where overall totals are computed." In the awareness campaign planned by the elections authorities, special attention should be focused on first-time voters - people who register at 18 and have the chance to vote at 19 or 20. Educating them on the electoral process is vital."
