Election Security Project

Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell and the Division of Elections has partnered with the University of Alaska to analyze the State of Alaska’s voting technologies, systems and procedures to count and tabulate ballots by optical scanning and touchscreen systems. The University has been asked to review the current system and determine if there are security problems that could jeopardize the results of elections. The purpose of this study is to assess vulnerabilities that may exist in the system so that the Division of Elections can implement strategies to mitigate these vulnerabilities in anticipation of the 2008 elections.
