Independent auditing of technology assisted voting
101C Independent auditing of technology assisted voting
The Electoral Commissioner must engage an independent person (the independent auditor) to conduct audits of the information technology used under the approved procedures.
Without limiting the content of the audit, the independent auditor must determine whether test votes cast in accordance with the approved procedures were accurately reflected in the corresponding test vote record produced under those procedures.
The independent auditor may make recommendations to the Electoral Commissioner to reduce or eliminate any risks that could affect the security, accuracy or secrecy of voting in accordance with the approved procedures.
The results of any audit of the information technology used under subsection (1) must be published on the Commission website as soon as practicable and no later than 30 days following the close of polling.
