hiLIARy Clinton's DELIAN Project 2014-2017 and beyond with Dominion Voting
Dominion Voting, through its philanthropic support to the DELIAN Project, commits to supporting 1 to 5 local election technology pilots with donated Automated Voting Machines (AVM) in emerging and post-conflict democracies every 12 to18 months over the next three years. This includes the donation of AVMs, localized poll worker training, as well as electoral skill transfer programs for various Election Management Bodies for whom financial resources are scarce. 1 AVM can service on average 1,000 voters, and the initial electoral jurisdictions to be approached would number 50-250,000 registered voters in order to maximize impact with the donated resources available.
The election technology being offer under the DELIAN Project are paper based, optical scan tabulators, manufactured and donated by Dominion Voting (Industry name: ICP-322). Roughly the size of a small FAX machine, these AVMs sit atop a traditional ballot box during a live election. The voting experience does not change dramatically using this form of technology: A voter marks a paper ballot, the paper ballot is then fed into the AVM (which records an image of the ballot and the results), and then the paper ballot then falls into the ballot box. At the close of polls, the various AVMs rapidly tabulate the votes cast, allowing for accurate and timely election results. Additionally, if a physical hand count is required, the original paper ballots are still available to auditors in the traditional ballot boxes. The AVMs being donated to DELIAN have been used in several large jurisdictions such as Canada, the United States, the Philippines, and Mongolia.
