The present invention relates to a voting machine (1a, 1b) comprising one or more hardware-based security device operatively connected to the voting machine, one or more machine-readable instructions executable by the one or more hardware-based security device, the one or more machine readable instructions configured to operate the voting machine (1a, 1b), the one or more machine-readable instructions comprises authenticating or validating the one or more hardware-based security device before granting access to either operate the voting machine (1a, 1b), or a key or a certificate on the voting machine (1a, 1b), or combination thereof, allowing the voting machine (1a, 1b) to accept one or more documents indicating one or more votes, authorizing the voting machine (1a, 1b) to stop accepting the one or more documents and then tallying or counting a total number of the votes, generating one or more reports comprising the tallied total number of votes, signing either the one or more documents, or the one or more reports or combination thereof, using the one or more hardware-based security device, authorizing the printing the one or more reports, validating the counted and recorded votes, and transmitting either the one or more signed documents or the one or more signed reports, or combination thereof through one or more communication network.

A blockchain-based election system includes an owner-controlled blockchain, an election administration server, registrars for authenticating voters and providing instructions for the election, and electronic devices for casting ballots. The administration server interfaces with the blockchain to manage election rules and content. The registrars authenticate each voter's identity and issue ballots to each voter through the blockchain. The voters may cast their ballots using an election polling place device, a wallet app or another electronic device such as a computer. Once cast, the ballots are tabulated and the vote counts revealed using the blockchain. Public key encryption is used to secure each step in the election process. An anonymizer service obfuscates voter identity with timing delays and false communication messages to prevent an attacker from correlating information about the voter. As a result, any authorized person or entity may verify the election results by querying the blockchain.

The present invention discloses a method, system and computer program for verifying false or misleading information. The method comprises creating a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) and associating it to one or more information records to be verified; distributing the NFT and the record(s) to computing nodes that implement a decentralised blockchain; establishing, for a set of computing nodes of a first type, a first verdict of whether said record(s) include(s) false or misleading information; establishing, for a set of computing nodes of a second type, a second verdict of whether the record(s) include(s) false or misleading information; and adding the first verdict and the second verdict. If the result of the second verdict coincides with the first verdict, the final verdict is set and published, and if the result of the second verdict is different from the first verdict, one or more computing devices that are external to the decentralised blockchain are notified of a conflict.

A personalized voter AI assistance system may include a user interface that may be configured for voter interaction and an identity verification module that may collect and verify registered voting addresses. A conversational AI system with a multi-agent framework may engage users through structured interactions to capture political values and policy preferences. The system may include a ballot data integration system that may retrieve election data from trusted public sources, and a ballot matching engine that may utilize verified addresses to identify specific ballot configurations. An alignment algorithm may compare user values with election data to generate compatibility assessments using qualitative alignment concepts. A personalized ballot generator may create customized ballot presentations that may integrate compatibility assessments with official ballot information. The system may provide automated, personalized voter assistance while maintaining non-partisan objectivity through AI-driven analysis of individual preferences against official election data.

The present invention provides an improved system and method for using cryptography to secure computer-implemented choice mechanisms. In several preferred embodiments, a process is provided for securing participants' submissions while simultaneously providing the capability of validating their submissions. This is referred to as a random permutation. In several other preferred embodiments, a process is provided for securing participants' advance instructions while simultaneously providing the capability of validating their advance instructions. This is referred to as a secure advance instruction. Applications include voting mechanisms, school choice mechanisms, and auction mechanisms.

Embodiments of the present application relate to anonymous cryptographic voting methods and systems based on blockchain. A system can facilitate voting (e.g., blockchain-based) recorded based on distributed ledger technology (DLT). Nodes configured to support a voter role can access DLT records to determine answers and / or parameters for a vote. An organizer of a vote can provide a voter token to a voter, which grants the voter a voting value. A voter can distribute the voting value to answers using a commitment token that binds the voter to a particular voting value without leaking the particular voting value when in cryptographic form. A voter can distribute the commitment token to multiple answers. In some cases, distributing the commitment token to multiple answers can foil attempts to determine one or more targets to which the voter delivered a non-empty voting value.

The system and method of the present invention for providing enhanced secure ballot image records includes an enhanced secure ballot image tabulator and an enhanced secure ballot image audit station. The tabulator processes each of a plurality of ballots to be tabulated to provide enhanced secure ballot image records having chronologies and synchronized coordination of enhanced secure ballot image files, each of the enhanced secure ballot image files being for another one of the plurality of ballots to be tabulated. The enhanced secure ballot image records can be broadcast at the completion of tabulation and / or simulcast or otherwise provided in real time during tabulation (such as to the public or other parties interested in the tabulation of the vote on a secure medium at the completion of the tabulation). The enhanced secure audit station receives the enhanced secure ballot image records and analyzes it to selectively identify chronologies and / or synchronization security parameters that are out of bounds. Any ballots identified can then be reviewed by election officials or other interested parties for correctness and authentication purposes. The tabulator can be used to also produce images of voter check-in sheets for purposes related to the analysis of the enhanced secure ballot image records and their tabulated enhanced secure files.
