However, many voting activities happen in much more common situations, from company boardrooms to homeowners associations or employee breakrooms. Those votes often happen by raising one&#8217;s hand or at best writing down a name on a piece of\u00a0paper and putting it into a hat. With the pandemic, those votes have been harder to organise, creating a vacuum for new systems to take hold, and potentially presenting new opportunities.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The talk will start with an introduction to low-tech verifiable voting systems. We will then go over the impact of the pandemic and how it led us to propose a solution that is currently in use at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, as well as the details of this low-tech (non-cryptographic) verifiable voting system. Finally, I will discuss the implications\u00a0this has not only for the development but more importantly for the deployment of new voting systems.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>The talk is based on research I recently pursued with colleagues from UMBC and LaBRI.
