Smartmatic- Auditable Election System - How it works...

Ease of Operation and Security



The flexibility of the SAES platform makes it possible to automate any election in accordance with the legal requirements of the governing electoral agency, the local voting customs and the socio-political factors of the host country.

We place paramount importance on the security and integrity of the entire electoral process. That is we base our system on a series of encryption algorithms that safeguard the collection and transfer of every vote at each of the following verification points:

1. Voting receipt printed on special paper and identified with a random code to ensure the secrecy of the vote;
2. Fixed memory (internal) of every SAES machine;
3. Removable memory of every SAES machine;
4. Station tally from the voting table;
5. The electronic vote transferred to the tallying centers;
6. Electronic act transferred to the tallying centers;
7. The tallying act.

Each of these checkpoints ensures the transparency of the electoral process and together they provide the most complete guaranty available. They offer ample opportunities to pinpoint anomalies, if they occur, and early enough, to prevent them from becoming a big problem.
