SECOND REPORT of the Commission on Electronic Voting on the Secrecy, Accuracy and Testing of the Chosen Electronic Voting System
The Commission can recommend the voting and counting equipment as follows:
• The voting machine and related hardware components are of good quality and their design,
which is based on voting systems that have been reliable in use elsewhere for some years, has
also remained stable since their adaptation for use in Ireland. Subject to some minor security
and usability enhancements, followed by extended and rigorous testing once they have been so
modified, the voting machine and related components can be confidently recommended for use.
• The embedded software of the voting machine is also of adequate quality, requiring only minor
modifications followed by further analysis to confirm its reliability
