The Carter Center: Developing a Methodology for Observing Electronic Voting (2007)
On Nov. 2, 2006, The Carter Center hosted the first activity of this initiative—a small workshop of representatives of election observation organizations and e-voting experts aimed at fostering collaborative discussion and the development of a draft methodology for observing electronic voting. This meeting, called “Developing a Draft Methodology for Observing Electronic Voting Technologies,” built on the results of a previous workshop hosted by the Center in 2005 on the challenges posed by electronic voting technologies. Shortly after the November 2006 meeting, The Carter Center deployed a specialized technical mission to Venezuela to observe the use of electronic voting in its Dec. 3, 2006, presidential election and to conduct a preliminary field test of the methodology. Following the Venezuela mission, Carter Center staff and consultants worked to update and revise the methodology. The Center plans to test the draft methodology in at least two additional pilot missions. This short document, with the attached revised draft observation forms, summarizes the discussions of the November 2006 meeting, the methodological findings of the technical mission to Venezuela, and subsequent efforts by Carter Center staff to revise the draft methodology for observing electronic voting.
A Proposed Framework for Technology Selection in order for developing countries to execute election operations efficiently
This paper aims at establishing a framework that defines a set of criteria that can be used to determine what and how technology can be used to enhance and improve election operations in developing countries. The author finds extensive support for the use of technology in general administration activities as well as delimitation, voter registration, candidate management and result reporting. The study proposes that electronic voting technologies only be used in Developing African countries after extensive thought and consultation with stake holders. This paper is a dissertation submitted to the University of Liverpool.
