Electronic Voting Trials in Scotland discussions (w/ British Computer Society)
Description changed:
The Scottish Government have committed to trialling electronic voting as part of its digital strategy. In July 2018, Aberdeen City Council put out a procurement notice for an electronic voting system for Aberdeenshire Council and the Highland Council.
Electronic voting has been promoted as a way to engage a new generation of voters, but at what costs? Can electronic voting satisfy the requirements for a vote to be anonymous, verifiable, and secure? Open Rights Group have been an independent observer at trials of electronic voting in the United Kingdom and made up part of a group of security researchers that assessed the 2014 general election in Estonia. This event will see Open Rights Group present the results of that research, look at case studies from other parts of the world and discuss with British Computer Society members and ORG members the pressing questions for a trial of electronic voting:
What standards should underpin an electronic voting trial?
What identity attributes should be required for assurance on the system?

Come and meet new Scotland Director, Matthew Rice, and reconnect with ORG Aberdeen members, or come meet some for the very first time if you've never attended. The meetup is going to be a relaxed, informal affair. It's a chance for people with an interest in digital rights to meet each other and figure out how we can work together to protect and promote digital rights in Aberdeen and beyond.
The meeting is free to attend and all are welcome. Coming along to the event will not sign you up to run the group, but you will have the opportunity to speak to others who want to organise something and sign up to an email thread about ORG Aberdeen events.
Remember that you don't need to have any experience of campaigning to attend! Every seasoned campaigner was once just someone who cared about an issue, don't be put off by thinking you don't have the skills.
