How the Transparent voting system saves
taxpayer dollars
Transparent voting differs from other voting systems in that
the
equipment at the polling place is simple. The cost of these
machines and their upkeep is relatively low. A single, central
database is where most of the complexity exists.
As with all electronic voting processes, counting and recounting
election results is an automated process that does not involve
people. The cost of this aspect of the voting process is
negligible.
In addition, most of cost of answering questions and validating the
voting is
removed by the system design. Voters who question the accuracy of
the system can quickly answer their own questions by looking up their
own ballot. Since the State (a generic term for a governing
agency) is not required to provide access to the voter's ballot after
an election, a fee can be assessed further reducing costs to the State
for administering the vote. Finally, the voter's themselves will
be validating the system reducing the costs of validating the system
for each election.
