Description

The invention relates to computer technology, in particular, to an automated system for collecting and processing data on the results of elections and referenda using electronic digital signatures of the State Automated System (GAS) “ELECTIONS”, which is a geographically distributed system whose organizational structure is determined by the electoral system Russian Federation and corresponds to the structure of territorial election commissions.

The objects of the system are equipped with complexes of automation tools that form a four-level hierarchical structure aimed at the implementation of new information and selective technologies used in the development of this system.

The upper (first) level of the system is a set of automation tools (hereinafter referred to as KSA) of the Central Election System of the Russian Federation, the second level of the system is KSA of election commissions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the third level is KSA of district election commissions, and the fourth level is KSA of territorial election commissions. The development of the system provides for the further automation of precinct election commissions and the creation of a fifth-level KSA, the KSA of the precinct election commission.

KSA of all levels consist of technical, software and information support, are combined into an information and communication network using state and commercial channels, communication and data networks.

At the same time, the system should provide a solution to a set of functional tasks, including the solution of the task of summarizing the conduct of elections and referenda in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the peculiarity of the solution of which is that after the completion of elections and referenda at polling stations and the tabulation of the results of voting by territorial election commissions subjects of the Russian Federation (RF), an automated system for collecting and processing data from the results of elections and referenda of the state automated system (GAS) “ELECTIONS” could ensure the collection and automatic processing of the final election data in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation as soon as possible with the issuance of final voting results for each candidate.

The first of the known systems contains data reception and storage units connected to control and data processing units, search and selection units connected to data storage and display units, the synchronizing inputs of which are connected to the outputs of the control unit (1).

A significant drawback of this system is the impossibility of solving the problem of online updating of data stored in memory in the form of relevant documents in real time.

Sources of input to the system are territorial election commissions, which, after the completion of the election and referendum procedures and the counting of votes cast for the respective candidates, draw up the final protocols electronically certified by electronic digital signatures (EDS) of the chairmen of the respective commissions.

The final electronic protocol of each territorial election commission is presented in standard form and has the following structure:

Name of candidate The total number of votes cast for the candidate Candidate No. 1 Candidate No. 2 .............................. Candidate No. K ELECTRONIC DIGITAL SIGNATURE OF THE CHAIR OF THE TERRITORIAL ELECTION COMMISSION

When solving the problem of collecting and processing data on the results of elections and referenda, messages (codograms) are sequentially received from the territorial election commissions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the form of a final file having the following structure:

Identifier of the territorial election commission of a subject of the Russian Federation SUMMARY PROTOCOL OF RESULTS OF THE ELECTIONS AND REFERENCES ELECTRONIC DIGITAL SIGNATURE
TEC Chairperson The number of votes cast for candidate No. 1 The number of votes cast for candidate No. 2 The number of votes cast for candidate No. K

The file with the final data having the indicated structure from the information input 11 of the system is entered into the register of block 1 by a synchronizing pulse from input 13, which passes to the synchronizing input 22 of block 1.

From output 24 of block 1, the final protocol of the results of elections and referenda is issued to output 15 of the system for subsequent documentation in the database of the system.

From the exit 25 of block 1, the identifier of the election commission of a subject of the Russian Federation goes to the input 37 of block 3 and then goes to the input of the decoder 31, which decodes the code of the identifier of the election commission, and opens one of the elements 32-34 And one input.

For definiteness, we assume that a high potential is received at one input of element 32 I.

At this time, the synchronizing pulse from the input 13 of the system enters the input 38 of block 3, where it is delayed by element 35 while receiving the code of the input message in block 1 and the decryptor 31 is triggered, and then goes to the polling state of the elements 32 - 34 I.

Given the fact that only the And element 32 will be open at one input, then passing through this And element, the clock pulse arrives, firstly, at the read input of a fixed memory cell of the permanent storage device 30, where the reference address of the memory cell is stored in the server database, assigned to this election commission, and the digital signature code of the chairman of this territorial election commission.

The reference address of the memory cell and the digital signature code (EDS) from the outputs of the ROM 30 are read to the outputs 39 and 40 of block 3, respectively. In this case, the reference address of the memory cell assigned to this election commission, from the output of 39 block 3 through the input 60 of block 5 goes to the information input of the register 55 of block 5, and the digital signature from the output 40 of block 3 through the input 47 of block 4 goes to the information input of the register 43 blocks 4.

In addition, the same pulse of reading codes of the reference address of the election commission and EDS from the output of element 35 is delayed by element 36 for the duration of reading the contents of a fixed cell in ROM 30, and arrives at both the synchronizing input 61 of block 5 and the synchronizing input 49 of block 4.

From the input 61 of block 5, a synchronizing pulse is fed to one input of the And 56 element, the other input of which is controlled from the direct output 112 of the trigger 90. Given that the trigger 90 is currently in the initial state, then the low potential from its direct output, the element 56 will be is closed, and the synchronizing pulse from input 61 through element 56 And will not pass.

From the input 49 of block 4, the same synchronizing pulse is fed to the synchronizing input of the register 43 of block 4 and enters the read digital signature code into it.

At the same time, the high potential from the zero output 113 of the trigger 90 through the input 50 goes to one input of the element 45 AND block 4, the other input of which receives the same clock pulse from the input 49 of the block 4. As a result, the clock pulse from the input 49 of block 4 passes through element 45 AND, is delayed by element 46 of the delay for the time the EDS code is entered in register 43, and then it goes to the synchronizing input of the comparator 44, to one input of which an EDS code read from the ROM is supplied, and an EDS code is supplied to the other input, coming from exit 2 6 block 1 through the input 48 of block 4.

Using a synchronizing signal, the comparator 44 compares the codes of electronic digital signatures, and if the input codes do not match, then a pulse is generated at the output 53 of the comparator 44, which is fed to the installation input of the register 43 of block 4, returning it to its original state, and the installation input 64 of the block 5 and further to the installation input of the register 55 of block 5, also returning it to its original state.

If the comparator 44 detects the coincidence of the input EDS codes, then the output signal 52 of the block 4 generates a signal to enable reception of input data, which, firstly, the OR element 57 passes through the input 63 of the block 5 and enters the synchronizing input of the register 55, entering the code into it the reference address of the memory cell assigned to this election commission, and in addition, is delayed by element 58 for the time the reference address code is entered in register 55.

From the output of the delay element 58, the specified pulse from the output 20 of the system is issued to the input of the first channel of the database server interrupt. With the arrival of this signal, the server switches to the subroutine for recording the final protocol of this election commission from the output 15 of the system to the address that is generated on the address output 16 of the system.

Secondly, in parallel with the process of documenting the final protocol of this election commission to the system database, the same clock pulse from the output 52 of block 4 through the input 71 of block 6 is fed to the clock inputs of the accumulating adders 65-67 and enters the total number of votes into them given for the respective deputies from the outputs 27-29 of block 1 through the corresponding inputs 68-70 of block 6.

And, finally, thirdly, the synchronizing pulse from the output 52 of block 4 through the input 82 of block 7 is supplied to the counting input of the counter 76, which counts the number of election commissions from which the final data came. In addition, the register 77 of block 7 constantly stores the number of election commissions that must submit the final data of the elections and referenda.

As a result of this, each pulse arriving at the counting input of the counter 76 is counted by the counter 76, and, in addition, is delayed by the delay element 79 for the response time of the counter 76, after which it is supplied to the synchronizing input of the comparator 78. The comparator 78 compares the readings of the counter 76 and the register 77 by each input pulse until the readings of the counter 76 and the register 77 become equal.

This time will be fixed by the comparator 78 of block 7 by issuing a pulse to the output 84 of block 7, from where the synchronizing pulse is fed to the input 108 of block 8 and then to the single input of trigger 91, setting it to a single state, in which the trigger 91 with a high potential from a single output opens one input of the group of elements 92-94 AND, providing the connection of the outputs 73-75 of block 6 through the corresponding inputs 101-103 of block 8 and the corresponding group of elements 98-100 OR to the outputs 17-19 of the system.

In addition, the pulse from the output 84 of the comparator 78 is delayed by the delay element 80 for the duration of the trigger 91, and then from the output 85 of the block 7 through the input 109 of the block 8 it goes to the other inputs of the group of elements 92-94, providing the output of the final data of the voting results for each deputies on the scoreboard displaying the voting results.

Then, the pulse from the output of element 80 of block 7 is again delayed by element 81 for the duration of data output on the display panel of the voting results and arrives at the installation input of the counter 76, returning it to its original state, and from output 86 it enters the installation input 23 of block 1, installation input 111 of block 8, returning trigger 91 to its initial state, and to input 107 of block 8, where it enters the single input of trigger 90 and sets it to a single state, thereby fixing the data viewing mode.

If you need to view and analyze the results of the election and referendum results for each election commission, it is enough to submit the identification code of the corresponding election commission and a synchronization signal to input 13 to enter block 1 to the information input 11 of the system.

In this case, as described above, from the output 25 of block 1, the election commission identifier of the subject of the Russian Federation is fed to the input 37 of block 3 and then fed to the decoder 31, which decodes the code of the election commission identifier and opens one of the elements 32- 34 And at one entrance.

For definiteness, we assume that the high potential also entered one input of element 32 I.

At this time, the synchronizing pulse from the input 13 of the system enters the input 38 of block 3, where it is delayed by element 35 while receiving the code of the input message in block 1 and the decryptor 31 is triggered, and then goes to the polling state of the elements 32 - 34 I.

Given the fact that only the And element 32 will be open at one input, then passing through this And element, the clock pulse arrives, firstly, at the read input of a fixed memory cell of the permanent storage device 30, where the reference address of the memory cell is stored in the server database, assigned to this election commission, and the digital signature code of the chairman of this territorial election commission.

The reference address of the memory cell and the digital signature code (EDS) from the outputs of the ROM 30 are read to the outputs 39 and 40 of block 3, respectively. In this case, the reference address of the memory cell assigned to this election commission, from the output of 39 block 3 through the input 60 of block 5 goes to the information input of the register 55 of block 5, and the digital signature from the output 40 of block 3 through the input 47 of block 4 goes to the information input of the register 43 blocks 4.

In addition, the same pulse of reading codes of the reference address of the election commission and EDS from the output of element 35 is delayed by element 36 for the duration of reading the contents of a fixed cell in ROM 30, and arrives at both the synchronizing input 61 of block 5 and the synchronizing input 49 of block 4.

From the input 61 of block 5, a synchronizing pulse is supplied to one input of the And 56 element, the other input of which is controlled from the direct output 112 of the trigger 90. Given that the trigger 90 is currently set to a single state, then the high potential from its direct output, the element 56 will be is opened, and the synchronizing pulse from input 61 passes through the AND element 56, then the OR element 57 and enters the synchronization input of the register 55, entering the reference address code of the requested election commission into it.

In addition, the synchronizing pulse from the output of the 56 And element is delayed by the element 59 while the reference address code is entered into the register 55, and then from the output of the system 21 it is issued to the input of the second channel of the database server interrupt.

With the arrival of this signal, the server switches to the subroutine for reading the final protocol of this election commission from the database of the server of the system at the address that is formed on the address output 16 of the system, and outputting the data of the final protocol through the information input 12 of the system to block 2, where the read data is entered by the synchronizing pulse database server arriving at sync input 14.

From outputs 87-89, the resulting data through the corresponding inputs 104-106 of the inputs of block 8 and the corresponding groups of elements 95-97 AND, groups of elements 98-100 OR are connected to the outputs 17-19 of the system.

The trigger 107, which is in a single state, opens one input of the indicated groups of elements 95-97 I.

And finally, according to the synchronizing signal from the input 14 of the system, incoming through the input 110 of block 8 and delayed by the time the final data was entered into block 2 by the delay element 120, the final data is displayed on the display panel.

Thus, the introduction of new nodes and blocks and new structural connections has significantly improved the reliability of the received data and the speed of the system, eliminating the time costs associated with the preliminary recording of all received information in the database, their subsequent search and processing, by localizing the addresses of the database records data on identifiers of territorial election commissions and the formation of a cumulative total of voting results in real time.
