The Low Error Voter Interface & Visual Ballot Design
Matthew Hockenberry, Shawn Sullivan, Sharon Cohen, and Ted Selker
The LEVI (Low-Error Voter Interface) ballot design seeks to create a new ballot for voting systems that is flexible, efficient, and easy to use. We have incorporated new navigation features that serve as a visual representation of a voter’s status within the voting session.
Audio Verification for Voter Ballots
Matthew Hockenberry, Sharon Cohen and Ted Selker
The VVAATT (Voter Verified Audio Audit Transcript Trail) is a unique approach to the issue of ballot verification. All modern electronic ballots come equipped with audio output for visual impaired voters. The VVAATT captures this for use as a verification device. This also has the added consequences of supplying active feedback on selection during the voting process in additional modalities.
Self-Revealing Interface for Audio Ballots
Matthew Hockenberry, Sharon Cohen and Ted Selker
We are interested in investigating designs for a self-revealing audio ballot. Traditional audio ballots are best described as awkward afterthoughts heavily tied to visual representation. We are exploring a multivocal, multichannel system that will allow a faster and more easily accessible interpretation of the same information contained in visual displays.

We have incorporated new navigation features that serve as a visual representation of a voter’s status within the voting session. In addition to this, we are exploring the use of audio verification as a tool to further improve voter confidence and accuracy.
Long Voting
Connor Dickie and Ted Selker
Can the voting machine tell when the stress on a voter might compromise their vote? A voter might be agitated because they aren’t sure of whom to vote for, because someone is manipulating them or because something else is wrong. It is our hypothesis that an agitated voter will have this agitation reflected in their mouse movements, and that by recording and reasoning about mouse movement, we will be able to determine if a voter is somehow agitated when casting their vote.
