Election Integrity Is Not Just A Security Problem: Human Factors in Voting Systems
When most people think about election integrity, they think about things like keeping ballots secure. While that is indeed critical, there are many other parts of the process that are equally important, such as making sure that ballots accurately capture voter intent. This talk will discuss multiple ways that understanding how to design for people is critical to ensuring the integrity of elections, drawing examples from real elections and scientific research on human performance in voting contexts.
