PWL #COV: STAR-Vote: A Safe, Transparent, Auditable, Reliable Voting Algorithm

Details
• What we'll do
Main Event: Max will present STAR-Vote: A Secure, Transparent, Auditable, and Reliable Voting System (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/evtwote13/jets-0101-bell.pdf)

STAR-Vote is a collaboration between a number of academics and the Travis County (Austin), Texas elections office, which currently uses a DRE voting system and previously used an optical scan voting system. STAR-Vote represents a rare opportunity for a variety of sophisticated technologies, such as end-to-end cryptography and risk limiting audits, to be designed into a new voting system, from scratch, with a variety of real world constraints, such as election-day vote centers that must support thousands of ballot styles and run all day in the event of a power failure. This paper describes the current design of STAR-Vote which is now largely settled and whose development will soon begin
