Ballot-machine maker Advanced Voting Solutions will use VoteHere's software to offer voters a way to check that their ballot was cast correctly, VoteHere said Monday. The companies will team to integrate the technology into AVS's WINvote touch-screen voting terminal and will test the device during the November election. Rather than allow for a centralized re-count, the system gives voters the ability to check their vote online by matching a coded number on a receipt with the same number in a database.
"Voters can get receipts to ensure their votes were properly counted, and anyone can audit the election results," Jim Adler, founder of VoteHere, said in a statement.
VoteHere's technology is its answer to the demand of some security-conscious citizens for a secondary paper trail to help ensure the integrity of an election.
