Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for counting elections in which the electronically determined voice result can be roughly checked by the voters.
  • voting devices For several years there have been attempts to count votes cast by voting machines faster and more accurately. These electronic devices (voting devices) are issued to the voters, which are wired or wirelessly connected to a control center via radio signal.
  • the tuners have a variety of buttons for the different alternatives and many of the tuners have a display.
  • the technical procedure of a choice is that the control panel signals the beginning of the vote to the voting devices, the voters press a button assigned to their answer and thereby the voting device notifies the selected response to the control center.
  • More advanced voting systems acknowledge the receipt of a voice by subsequently sending an acknowledgment signal from the central office to the respective one Tuner. Examples of such voting systems can be found on the Internet at www.mobited.de or at www.ivsystem.nl.
  • Out GB 23 79 016 A is a portable device for monitoring a response of listeners to music known.
  • the portable device allows the listener of music wirelessly to provide feedback wirelessly to a higher-level DJ system to influence the selection, volume, and the like of the songs being played.
  • WO 2004/077706 is a method for electronically counting and detecting User data, in particular user preferences known.
  • Portable terminals transmit user data to a central processing unit.
  • US 2002/0047569 is a portable terminal known.
  • the terminal changes its external appearance by a change in color and brightness by means of a lighting device based on information received over a network.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a quick electronic count of elections and thereby enable the voters a rough check.
  • the procedure makes possible both the electronic determination of the result of the election and an approximate control of the result by the voters.
  • the widely visible change in the appearance of voting machines after voting allows voters to assess the votes cast by other voters, as is the case today with voting by voice.
  • the procedure thus offers effective protection against the risk of announcing entirely different election results.
  • the process provides electronically scored voting results, avoiding cumbersome and erroneous manual scores in traditional elections.
  • the inventive method can be used to complement the vote by show of hands by holding highly visible tuned voting equipment. This maintains an emotional participation in the election and a high degree of acceptance of an electronically conducted election as a whole.
  • Each voter receives an in Fig. 2 shown Abstimm réelle [2], which has a transmitting / receiving unit [3], a button [4], a battery [5], a lighting device [6] and a processing unit [8].
  • the election officer presents the proposal for election. He first asks the voters who want to vote "Yes” to press the button [4] on the voting device [2].
  • the processing unit [8] registers the keypress and turns on the illumination device [6].
  • the lighting device is designed so brightly strong that the external appearance changes in the form of a color change visible by switching on these voting devices.
  • the "yes-voters” then hold their voting devices [2] in the air, as they are used to by voting cards or the vote by hand.
  • the recorded voice is also sent to an in Fig. 1 displayed headquarters [1] and recorded there as a "yes" voice. After a specified time of a few seconds, the lighting device [6] switches off again and the voting devices [2] are removed.
  • the polling officer asks the voters who want to vote "No" to press the button [4] on the voting machine [2].
  • the processing unit [8] registers the keypress and turns on the illumination device [6].
  • the "no voters” then hold their voting devices [2] in the air.
  • the recorded voice is also transmitted to a central office [1] and recorded there as a "no" vote.
  • the lighting device [6] switches off again and the voting devices [2] are removed.
  • a central for example, in the form of a computer system can be realized with one or more PCs, which have transmitting / receiving facilities with which the center is wired or wirelessly connected to the voting devices.
  • Such a center can, for. B. for different ones Election Statements are made to determine the election result.
  • the signal is encrypted in advance and transmitted to the control center, including an identifier associated with the selector or the voting device. As a result, further manipulation is excluded and multiple votes can be recognized. In the above example, if a voter votes both "yes” and "no", the vote may be judged invalid due to the same identifier.
  • choices with different alternatives can be made by sequentially querying the alternatives. If a voter wants to vote for the requested alternative, he presses his button at the time of the query and visibly holds the voting device in the air. Subsequently, the next alternatives are queried analogously. For example, this type of electoral procedure is particularly well suited to the selection of several candidates for a post where the candidate with the most votes is to be chosen. Here, the votes for the various applicants are successively requested.
  • a particularly secure embodiment of the voting devices can provide that an authorization can be created and stored in the voting device, for example in a memory integrated in the processing unit.
  • the voting device transmits this authorization together with the voting or independently to the headquarters.
  • the center can check in this embodiment, if the voter is even entitled to vote.
  • the entitlement may include, for example, restrictions on the location, date and time of the event, voting points and / or voting information such as the number of votes (vote weighting) and voting class (eg preferential voting rights) that will be counted from the head office can be considered.
  • the creation and storage in the voting devices such authorizations can be made, for example, at the registration of voters at the beginning of an event and optionally secured by electronic signatures against counterfeiting.
  • the storage of the authorization in the voting device can be done via the transmitting / receiving unit using the identifier.
  • the identifier is readably attached to the voting device, for example in the form of a bar code representing the identifier.
  • a special authorization can be transmitted to the voting device by its identifier is read using a barcode scanner and the authorization is transmitted to the device with the appropriate identifier.
  • new voters can be registered during ongoing events, where permissions are stored in their voting devices.
  • By storing the authorization in the voting devices it is possible to make the registration offline - ie without connection to the center - for example, in an anteroom of the event.
  • the voting devices have an additional key illumination [7].
  • the control panel sends out a signal that activates the key illumination [7] on the voting machines. A voter can visually recognize that he can now take part in the election.
  • the acknowledgment signal contains information about the color to be displayed. This makes it possible, for example, that all voting devices in which the voting devices of the "yes-voters” appear green, those of the "no-voters” appear in red. The different colors reinforce the testability that the voter has actually voted for the desired result. It is also conceivable that the center, for example, displays the currently queried alternative via a screen and the assigned color can be recognized.
  • voting can be realized in which the vote is counted only if the vote is delivered after a delay and the voter has the ability to "retract" his vote if the voting device is not in the color he desires appears. For this purpose, it may be provided that a key must be pressed for a longer period of time or, for example, that a renewed pressing of a key Turn off the backlight on the tuner if the voice has not been transmitted yet.
  • the change in appearance may be done in a variety of other ways, such as by turning on or off a light or display or, for example, by mechanically changing a color wheel by means of a motor or by a manually operated contact whose switching state is widely visible is just to name a few.
  • tuning devices with more than one button and / or with in each case a plurality of light-emitting diodes, lamps or similar light generators.
  • the voting devices can automatically detect the uplift and trigger the vote.
  • a tilt, motion or position sensor is provided, which can detect the recording and highly visible holding the tuning device by the voter.
  • a position sensor may detect the spatial altitude change through repeated telemetry
  • a tilt sensor may simply pick up the tuner from the table, and change the attitude.
  • a motion sensor may e.g. in the form of an acceleration sensor, which detects the arm movement of the selector.
  • a combination of the aforementioned sensors is possible, for example, to increase the reliability of detection. By this method, the operation can be modeled even more the well-known use of voting cards.
  • connection to the control center can be realized by a variety of different transmission techniques, such as frequency hopping or spread spectrum radio techniques.
  • the transmission between voting devices and the center can also be done via intermediate stations.
  • Tuning devices themselves can be used as an intermediate station for the transmission spatially continue to be used by the headquarters remote voting devices by transmitting / receiving units and accept data from other voting devices and forward to the central office or receive signals from the center and send it to other voting equipment.
