Accessibility and Auditability in Electronic Voting‪.‬

BACKGROUND Nearly one-third of American voters--over 50 million people--live in districts that will use electronic voting (e-voting) terminals to elect the next president ("New Study," 2004). In contrast, less than half that number cast an electronic ballot in 2000. This huge increase in e-voting has been embraced by the disability rights community, as these systems could make it possible for many disabled Americans to cast their ballots in secret, without the assistance of another person.
