ElectAssist is a toolkit for the administration of online elections.
It is geared towards small to medium-sized organizations with
several hundred to maximally a few thousand members.
With minimal setup, ElectAssist assists you with the following tasks:
Preparation
- create Voter IDs and PINs
- send out election announcements containing these Voter IDs and PINs
During the election
- enforce the election deadline
- validate votes before they are cast to reduce the number of invalid ballots
- authenticate voters
- store votes anonymously
- invalidate PINs after votes have been cast
- store the content of feedback fields (if provided on the ballot form)
anonymously and independently of the actual vote
After the election
- automatically gather and display the election results
Read the Manual.
ElectAssist was used in the following elections
- NAACL (North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)) 2001
- SIGdial (ACL Special Interest Group on Dialogue) 2001
Feedback
"The ElectAssist software was great! I did not have any problem
with it. [...] I followed your instructions very carefully and everything
worked smoothly. [...] I also felt comfortable with the error-reporting
mechanism: it was not difficult supervising the elections' process. Thank you!"
(Morena Danieli on running the ACL-SIGDial elections in 2001)
