The election officials get the master ballot and the confirmatiion ids |
| 15 |
file, so they can send each voter their confirmation id - that is an |
| 16 |
important part of the election as that's what allows each voter to confirm |
| 17 |
their ballot wasn't "tampered". This is how I was able to send the |
| 18 |
confirmation emails to all voters. |
| 19 |
Why do election officials get that mapping? Because the current election |
| 20 |
software doesn't have any automatic method to take care of this and relies |
| 21 |
in the election officials. This does mean that officials have access to |
| 22 |
the ballots - and as others already mentioned, any infra team member has |
| 23 |
access to the dirs in pecker. |
| 24 |
Given the above, why are we using this election software? Because that's |
| 25 |
what we've been using forever - at least this is what I was handed back in |
| 26 |
2008 and believe goes back to azarah. I've looked in the past at |
| 27 |
alternatives, exactly due to some of these concerns as well as other |
| 28 |
technical issues that affect the software. |
| 29 |
I've contacted the debian developer responsible by devotee[1] a few times |
| 30 |
in the past, but didn't move forward as he had some plans to update it as |
| 31 |
at the time it was too tied to debian's infra and I end up losing track of |
| 32 |
this. |
