I’m at #AMCTO2019 in Huntsville this morning presenting findings from my upcoming report on the use of online voting in Ontario cities. We may be the largest global user of unregulated online voting, and that needs to change! @AMCTO_Policy @ElectionsON
Online voting went offline for a million voters on election night due to a miscommunication, lack of disaster plans, and no apparent load testing. We must do better for 2022.
We found the use of dates of birth as login credentials uniquely identified up to 1.3 million voters in their respective towns. This wouldn’t be acceptable in the health data world, and should not be acceptable in a secret ballot election.
As voters become increasingly aware of technology, they want to know how it’s protecting their ballot, and candidates deserve objective evidence of the outcome. Standards development is desperately needed!
