• Abstract: In order to address issues with manual vote counting during election procedures, this study intends to examine the viability of using advanced image processing techniques for automated voter counting. The study aims to shed light on how automated systems that utilize cutting-edge technologies like OpenCV, CVZone, and the MOG2 algorithm could greatly increase the effectiveness and openness of electoral operations. The empirical findings demonstrate how automated voter counting can enhance voting processes and rebuild public confidence in election outcomes, particularly in places where trust is low. The study also emphasizes how rigorous metrics, such as the F1 score, should be used to systematically compare the accuracy of automated systems against manual counting methods. This methodology enables a detailed comprehension of the differences in performance between automated and human counting techniques by providing a nuanced assessment. The incorporation of said measures serves to reinforce an extensive assessment structure, guaranteeing the legitimacy and dependability of automated voting systems inside the electoral sphere.

  Methods for auditing instant-runoff voting (IRV) elections are either not risk-limiting or require cast vote records (CVRs), the voting system's electronic record of the votes on each ballot. We develop an RLA method that uses adaptively weighted averages of test supermartingales to efficiently audit IRV elections when CVRs are not available.

  One of the main challenges in e-voting systems is to certify that the computed results are consistent with the cast ballots. We propose a secure voting protocol for elections governed by order-based voting rules. Our protocol offers perfect ballot secrecy, in the sense that it issues only the required output, while no other information on the cast ballots is revealed.

  How reliably an automatic summarization evaluation metric replicates human judgments of summary quality is quantified by system-level correlations. We identify two ways in which the definition of the system-level correlation is inconsistent with how metrics are used to evaluate systems in practice.

• Anomaly Detection and Automated Labeling for Voter Registration File Changes [0.0]
  Voter eligibility in United States elections is determined by a patchwork of state databases containing information about which citizens are eligible to vote. Monitoring changes to Voter Registration Files (VRFs) is crucial, given that a malicious actor wishing to disrupt the democratic process in the US would be well-advised to manipulate the contents of these files in order to achieve their goals. We present a set of methods that make use of machine learning to ease the burden on analysts and administrators in protecting voter rolls.
