Abstract:
Even though the technology has evolved dramatically throughout the last decade or so, many
countries have stuck with the traditional ballot paper
counting process. With BallotX we propose a viable
alternative to reduce time and resources consumed in the
traditional manual process by introducing image
processing into this domain. This research paper discusses
the ways in which the above can be achieved for varying
ballot papers and elections. It also addresses the issues of
transparency and reliability which has top priority when
transforming such sensitive manual process to an
automated one
