Vote-o-graph: a dishonest touchscreen voting system

Published: 10 April 2010 Publication History

Abstract

We present Vote-O-Graph, an experimental touchscreen voting system designed to simulate reported interface issues in existing electronic voting systems. Touchscreen miscalibration and the application of relative touch coordinates in anonymity-preserving user interface event logs are discussed.
