E-voting

Electronic voting has disappeared from the headlines since the 2004 elections. But with new elections coming up every year, the issue is certain to heat up again, and Comfidex Corp. of New York hopes to be in the middle of it. The company is unveiling its prototype VoteFiler at FOSE.

VoteFiler is a hybrid system that lets voters create ballots online in advance of an election and cast the paper ballots at the polling place on Election Day.

“This is not all-or-nothing,” said Comfidex president Bill Stratigos. “Our system is meant to coexist with existing systems.”

Comfidex seeks to avoid security concerns by minimizing VoteFiler’s footprint and working with off-the-shelf hardware and software as much as possible.
