This project aims to develop innovative approaches to identifying, measuring, and evaluating errors and purposeful intervention in the uniquely complex elections at the basis of Australian democracy. Such methods can underpin a world-class election auditing system, which contends with the risks that are emerging at the intersection of election digitisation, cybersecurity and foreign interference. The project’s expected outcomes are new auditing methods, tested on real Australian election data, with their benefits quantified against global best practice. The research outputs should help reinforce the community’s trust in Australian elections, which are a foundation for our security, social cohesion, and political resilience.

该项目旨在开发创新方法，以识别、衡量和评估澳大利亚民主基础上独特复杂的选举中的错误和有目的的干预。这些方法可以支撑一个世界级的选举审计系统，该系统可以应对在选举数字化、网络安全和外国干预的交叉点出现的风险。该项目的预期结果是新的审计方法，在真实的澳大利亚选举数据上进行测试，并根据全球最佳实践对其收益进行量化。研究成果应有助于加强社会对澳大利亚选举的信任，这是我们安全、社会凝聚力和政治弹性的基础。
