SGER: CT-ISG: The VoComp University Voting Competition

CT-ISG：VoComp大学投票系统竞赛这个项目将组织和举办一场名为VoComp的大学竞赛，让学生设计、实施、演示和评估投票系统。世界需要更好的投票系统。竞争刺激创新和参与。目前，没有学生投票竞争。Proposed Research。学生投票比赛将分四个阶段进行。在第0阶段(10月)，学生团队将注册并提交提案，评委将公布。在第一阶段(1月)，每个团队将发布初始投票系统设计。在第二阶段(5月)，每个团队将在大学校园进行一次现实的选举，无论是真实的还是模拟的学生选举。在第三阶段(6月)，任何完成第二阶段的团队都将被邀请前往决赛，在那里每个团队将参加模拟选举，对他们的系统进行学术风格的演讲，并可选择对其他系统进行批判性评估。将颁发各种奖项。智慧功勋。学生将设计、实施和演示投票系统，以提供选举完整性、选民隐私、透明度、投票捕获的准确性、用户友好性和残疾人可访问性。学生将展示他们的设计，并可选择批评竞争对手的设计，并提出实用的指标来评估投票系统的性能。Vocomp将帮助推进投票技术，让学生参与信息安全和投票系统研究，促进学生和研究人员之间的互动，支持投票技术课程，并提高投票这一关键公民过程的参与度和意识。所有设计、源代码和教育材料都将公开共享。

CT-ISG: The VoComp University Voting Systems CompetitionThis project will organize and hold a university competition, called VoComp, for students to design, implement, demonstrate, and evaluate voting systems.Motivation. The world needs better voting systems. Competitions stimulate innovation and involvement. Currently, there is no student voting competition.Proposed Research. The student voting competition will be run in four phases. In Phase 0 (October), student teams will register and submit proposals, and judges will be announced. In Phase 1 (January), each team will post an initial voting system design. In Phase 2 (by May), each team will conduct a realistic election on a university campus either a real or mock student election. In Phase 3 (June), any team completing Phase 2 will be invited to travel to the finals where each team will participate in a mock election, make an academic-style presentations about their system, and optionally give critical evaluations of other systems. A variety of prizes will be awarded.Intellectual Merit. Students will design, implement, and demonstrate voting systems that provide election integrity, voter privacy, transparency, accuracy of vote capture, and user friendliness, and accessibility to the disabled. Students will present their designs, and optionally, critique competing ones and propose practical metrics for evaluating voting system performance.Broader Impact. Vocomp will help advance voting technology, involve students in information security and voting system research, foster interactions among students and researchers, support courses on voting technology, and increase participation and awareness in the crucial civic process of voting. All designs, source code, and educational materials will be publicly shared.
