    Challenging the idea that internet voting verification tools create trust - they serve as distrust mitigation tools
    (E-Vote-ID 2024, 2024) Duenas-Cid, David; Misev, Vladimir
    Individual verification mechanisms in elections allow voters to ascertain that their votes are correctly cast and ensure overall electoral integrity by identifying possible issues such as large-scale attacks. Previous research shows that while some voters find these tools helpful, the usage rates of these mechanisms are generally low, and, therefore, their impact on building trust is less than expected. Despite this, there is consensus on the need to introduce verification mechanisms and the expectation that they help build trust. Based on interviews conducted in Estonia and New South Wales (Australia), we posit that verification mechanisms do not create trust but rather mitigate distrust by providing a security layer for detecting possible problems and reducing the appearance of possible distrust discourses.

    Improving the Observation of ICT in Elections - Widening the Methodological Scope
    (E-Vote-ID 2024, 2024) Misev, Vladimir; Martin-Rozumilowicz, Beata; Past, Liisa
    A growing number of countries use ICT-enabled solutions for their elections. Some of the most discussed are those related to voting, counting and tabulation of election results. Many other aspects of the election process, however, from voter and candidate registration to election campaigning, political and campaign finance as well as results management and publication systems have become ICT-based. Unfortunately, they are also increasingly becoming the targets of a number of malicious actors intending to disrupt electoral processes and undermine public trust. The authors showcase the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe‘s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) recently updated methodology, which they worked to update, including increased attention to cybersecurity in elections and auxiliary systems. They also apply this new framework to the specific case of Estonia,which has substantial experience and comparatively long history of conducting online elections supported by various ICT-based ancillary systems and as such has been at the forefront of facing cybersecurity challenges across its governance systems. This advancement should help observers to better assess whether states are conducting elections that are genuine and democratic in order to better protect integrity and potentially strengthen public confidence.
