Here are the questions (and answers) we received during our recent Live Q&A session. If you missed the live event, you can re-watch it or read through the insightful questions our audience asked.
Q: How does Eligo organize seamless digital tallying during an in-person election?
A: Eligo features a dedicated menu for accrediting in-person voters. This ensures that only accredited individuals are allowed to vote, and their presence is accurately counted. The digital tallying process remains consistent regardless of whether the event is online, in-person, or hybrid. We maintain full control over who can vote, ensuring that the tallying process is seamless and secure.
Q: What security measures are in place to protect the integrity of votes collected in person and digitally?
A: The security measures we implement are the same for both online and in-person events. The key difference lies in the access management—ensuring that only authorized individuals can vote. We use advanced encryption to maintain the physical separation between the voter and their vote in secret ballots, and we ensure that each user can only vote once per ballot. Access to the platform is controlled through unique credentials provided by the administrators.
Q: How do you support voter registration and credential verification during in-person voting events?
A: We handle voter registration and credential verification through a dedicated menu that includes functionalities for accrediting voters, issuing credentials, enabling voting, and managing proxies. This menu provides all the necessary tools to manage an in-person voting event smoothly and efficiently.
Q: When managing assemblies in my association, I need to report participant numbers by separating online voters from in-person voters. How do you monitor and count attendance at the physical polling place?
A: The same accreditation menu used for managing credentials and participant proxies also allows you to count physical attendance. This feature enables you to generate a report of those physically present, allowing you to differentiate between remote and in-person voters. This helps in accurately calculating turnout based on the method of participation.
