End-to-End Voting Systems A State Perspective Presented for State of North Carolina

Introduction This presentation offers the perspective of a state election official on end-to-end (E2E) voting systems. To evaluate any proposed improvement to the election system it is important to properly frame the issue, identifying the criteria by which it is to be evaluated. Any proposal must be evaluated for both its positive attributes but also its own vulnerabilities and limitations. Nothing is perfect and with every improvement there are associated security risks and potential problems. It is important to have a balanced evaluation. Further, elections are resource limited, resources applied to one area are generally withdrawn from another. It is therefore important to understand both sides of the equation, the positive contribution made by the improvement and the degradation that will occur as a result of decreased resources.
