Hart and Microsoft announce partnership to make elections more secure
Hart InterCivic and Microsoft have announced a partnership to incorporate ElectionGuard software developed by Microsoft into Hart ’ s Verity voting systems .
The partnership makes Hart the first major voting machine manufacturer in the US to provide end-to-end verifiability to voters , giving individual voters the ability to confirm their ballots were counted in an election and not altered .
End-to-end verifiability also enables independent election security experts to build verifier programs that can independently confirm the accuracy of the overall vote count for elections that incorporate ElectionGuard software .
“ We believe we must constantly re-imagine how technology can make voting more secure and also more transparent , and this partnership with Microsoft is a strong step in that direction ,” said Julie Mathis , CEO of Hart InterCivic .
“ The combination of Hart voting machines with ElectionGuard technology delivering end-to-end verifiability provides election officials the ability to offer more transparency to the process of vote tabulation .
“ Hart ’ s integration of ElectionGuard into Verity builds on our existing initiatives , such as voterverifiable paper trails , support for risk-limiting audits , and never encoding voter selections in unreadable barcodes , as part of our continued commitment to voting technology innovation that results in higher levels of voter confidence in the election process .” p
