Most American voting machines print a ballot an let the voter review it, but not all. There have been some jurisdictions that have given up on that for reasons that seem bad and vague to me. I think mandating that voting machines be open source is a good idea to me. Here in the US we have 3rd party auditing companies. Various US State and the Federal Government all have different testing/auditing labs that they have certified they trust. Then each voting machine company has to convince them that it is good to sell to the governments that trust them. The final build that the lab signs off on gets a cryptographic signature and the poll workers are supposed to check that it matches what they are given to run on their machines just before the setup their machines for voting. Do Brazil have anything similar with auditors or inspectors? Or at least some crypto connecting the vendor to the polling locations? |

Every year before elections, the government entity responsible for the voting machines invites hackers to run penetration tests [0].

The machines have no internet access at all.
