Abstract: Voter-generated ballots created using consumer-grade printers are remade to ballots scannable by specialized ballot scanners. The voter-generated ballots include a machine-readable indicia, such as a two-dimensional barcode, that encodes ballot information. The ballot information includes choices made by the voter and information for use in remaking the ballot. Voters wish to submit their votes using printouts from non-specialized printers such as those found at their homes or offices; yet election officials wish to tabulate votes using scanners that require specialized, high-quality ballots. The disclosed systems and methods bridge this gap.

Abstract: A mobilized polling station is deployable for voting in remote locations. The mobilized polling station includes a mobile polling server that stores a voter registration depository identifying potential voters and a ballot repository of blank ballots for the potential voters. Various client devices, such as smart phones, tablets computers, connect to the mobile polling server for voters to enter their credentials, receive the appropriate ballots, and cast their votes. The cast votes are collected by the mobile polling server and then provided to an election center for counting. Versions of mobilized polling station can operate with limited or no power and communications infrastructure.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for authenticating a voter's identity using an electronic polling device. The method may search a plurality of voter profiles for a desired voter profile associated with a voter. The searching may be based on at least the voter's name or an associated voter ID. The method may display the desired voter profile which may include at least an image of the voter and an image of the voter's signature. The method may receive confirmation information from the voter. The method may compare the received confirmation information and a physical likeness of the voter with the desired voter profile to enable an authentication of the voter based on the comparing. The searching, displaying, receiving, comparing, and authenticating may be performed by at least one processor in an electronic polling device. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may include auditing, at a processor, an election by at least determining whether a received first vote tally, a received second vote tally, a received third vote tally, and a received fourth vote tally correspond to the same amount; generating, at the processor, a first indication, when the received first vote tally, the received second vote tally, the received third vote tally, and the received fourth vote tally correspond to the same amount; and generating, at the processor, a second indication representative of a discrepancy, when the received first vote tally, the received second vote tally, the received third vote tally, and the received fourth vote tally does not correspond to the same amount. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
