In for the count: Maximising trust and reliability in Australian elections

该项目旨在开发创新的方法来识别，测量和评估在澳大利亚民主的基础上独特复杂的选举中的错误和有目的的干预。这些方法可以支撑世界级的选举审计系统，该系统可以应对选举数字化、网络安全和外国干涉交叉出现的风险。该项目的预期成果是新的审计方法，在澳大利亚真实的选举数据上进行测试，并根据全球最佳做法量化其效益。研究成果应有助于加强社区对澳大利亚选举的信任，这是我们的安全，社会凝聚力和政治弹性的基础。

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.
