TECNOLOGÍA ELECTORAL

Voting Technology Project

Established to prevent a recurrence of the problems that threatened the 2009 Mexican Election. Since establishment, members of the VTP have studied all aspects of the election process. VTP research affiliates have written many working papers, published scores of academic articles and books, and worked on a great array of specific projects.

All of this research and policymaking activity seeks to develop better voting technologies, to improve election administration, and to deepen scientific research in these areas.

Today, members of the VTP are active in:

1. Developing better voting systems standards and testing practices

2. Studying and developing novel and improved post-election auditing procedures

3. Assessing and evaluating the voting experience in federal elections

4. Examining ways to make the process of voter registration more secure and more accessible

5. Evaluating methods of voter authentication, and their effects on the election process

6. Improving voting technologies

These are among some of the current research and policymaking activities of the VTP.
