Purpose of the Technological Solution
Objective
- The primary goal of this technological solution is to reduce the incidence of observed electoral records, which arise from manual filling of electoral documents. This is achieved by transferring results from a draft sheet to the official tally sheet.
Components of the Technological Solution
Key Modules
- The solution consists of two main modules:
- Electoral Member Module: This includes a laptop configured with security policies established by OMP, a printer, and a USB device.
Process Overview During Electoral Day
Functionality
- The technology serves as an aid for electoral members during voting processes, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in data handling.
Data Security Measures
Secure Storage
- Results from each polling station will be securely stored in encrypted formats, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality throughout the process.
Installation Process
Setup Details
- Installation involves:
- Utilizing a printer, laptop, and USB.
- Providing access keys for both the laptop and application through sealed envelopes.
- Registering all individuals present during installation to generate digital certificates for document signing.
Voting Emission Process
Conventional Voting
- After installation, voting proceeds conventionally; however, the technological solution is employed again at the end of the voting phase for tallying votes. The generated document at this stage is called the "acta de sufragio," which requires digital signatures from present electoral members and witnesses.
Finalization of Vote Counting
Document Generation
- Each election will have its own acta de sufragio stored in designated envelopes after being digitally signed by relevant parties involved in the election process.
Scrutiny Phase Initiation
Transparency Measures
- The scrutiny phase begins with a zero-setting procedure that ensures transparency among participating political organizations before entering vote counts (including blank or null votes). This step establishes trust in the electoral process.
Digital Acta de Escrutinio Creation
System Capabilities
- Once all votes are entered into the system—including those that are blank or contested—the system generates a digital acta de escrutinio that can also be digitally signed by electoral members present at that time.
Data Transmission Protocol
Encrypted Storage
- Results are stored on USB devices in encrypted form; once operations conclude, these USB devices must be transported to designated transmission points for further processing or reporting purposes.
Transmission Module Overview
Additional Insights
- Further details regarding the transmission module were mentioned but not elaborated upon within this segment of discussion. More information may follow later in subsequent sections or discussions related to this topic.
