Re: Belgian election blog. (none / 1)

Can you describe the computer systems? Do they allow an audit? Do they leave a paper trail?

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

Re: Belgian election blog. (4.00 / 2)

I do not have personal experience with the system.
But, there is no paper trail and I think a real audit is impossible. This is not in accordance with EU prescriptions and is reason why a lot of international observers are here.
But so far nobody is complaining here in Belgium.

flandersnews.be - OSCE monitors Belgian poll

The OSCE, the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, has sent a team of monitors to observe Belgium's federal elections. The ten man delegation includes members from Albania, Kazakhstan, Italy and Spain.

Lubomir Kopaj told the VRT that the focus of attention would be on voting by computer.
