Montgomery County was able to minimize lines during the 2012 presidential election through several strategies: having good facilities for voting, emphasizing well-trained poll workers, dedicating resources to early voting including staffing voting sites, targeting Election Day resources based on past usage, and conducting voter education. The county saw some of the shortest wait times of large jurisdictions in Maryland.
Electronic poll books (EPBs) can help reduce long voter check-in lines and improve the efficiency of the polling place process. EPBs allow poll workers to check voters in faster by searching a database of all registered voters rather than searching through paper poll books divided into alphabetical sections. EPBs provide benefits like no printing costs, quick data availability, instant voter history updates, and easier handling of voter exceptions. A case study in Virginia found that implementing an EPB system with electronic poll book and precinct automation manager software helped speed up voter check-in while meeting budget and hardware independence requirements.

uReporter, a social problem reporting system (ISD+DB)Tarik Reza Toha
This document proposes a social problem reporting system called uReporter that allows citizens to report issues like corruption, crime, and harassment in Bangladesh. It aims to give citizens a platform to voice social issues and increase awareness. The system would have an online crowdsourcing platform where people can submit new reports or comment on existing ones. Reports would be automatically rated and tagged, then manually reviewed by a team before publication. The goal is to provide authorities with more information to address problems while empowering citizens to participate.

Vote Centers Option for the April 26, 2011 Special Electionalysoun
The Board of Elections and Ethics (BOEE) developed options for managing the April 26th special election that balance fiscal responsibility with democratic rights. Due to the election's estimated $1 million+ cost, the BOEE considered reducing polling places from 143 to 16 vote centers open for 3 days. Voters could cast ballots at any center and electronic pollbooks would prevent double voting. One center would provide 15 days of early voting. This would save money while maintaining access. The BOEE sought the most cost-effective option without negatively impacting voters.

The document recommends startups reflect on their unique selling point beyond just cost or customization. It suggests engaging customers to understand pain points and developing a new vision for what e-learning can achieve rather than replicating what others already offer. Passion and the right team are important to address these challenges and forge a journey beyond a short-term focus.

1) Citizens would be able to apply for and receive a Special Voting ID Card that contains encrypted voter information and a QR code.
2) On election days, citizens could vote at special polling stations set up across the country where election officials would verify their identity using the QR code and allow them to cast an absentee vote for their home constituency.

Implementing a Voting System From a Local Election Adminstrator's Viewpointbriandnewby
This document provides guidance for implementing a new voting system from the perspective of a local election administrator. It discusses building the foundation for the project, including issuing a request for proposal, selecting a vendor, and obtaining voting system certification. It also covers initial preparations like developing procedures and setting up warehouse storage. The document then outlines the processes for delivery and acceptance of equipment, training election workers, pre-election logic and accuracy testing, Election Day management, post-election activities, and maintaining paper ballot systems. The overall document serves as a comprehensive blueprint and guide for implementing a new voting system.
This document proposes electoral reforms to reduce the influence of money and muscle power in Indian politics. It suggests introducing measures like distributing information brochures on candidates, holding public candidate conferences, advanced fingerprint-verified EVMs, a 24/7 electoral fraud helpline, universal voting centers, and campaigns to increase voter turnout. These reforms aim to make voters more informed, curb electoral malpractices, and minimize the impact of money and muscle power on election results. The proposed solutions could be launched as a pilot project in states like Andhra Pradesh where Aadhaar enrollment is high.
The document summarizes a political app project created by a University of Michigan design team. The app aims to address low voter turnout among younger generations by providing a centralized mobile app for voting information and registration. It would allow users to access candidate details, polling locations, election dates, and fill out a digital ballot on their phone that could be scanned at polling stations via QR code. The team analyzed issues with existing solutions, created user personas, and outlined the app's features, development costs, marketing strategy, and potential for patent opportunities.
E-voting technology provides an alternative to traditional paper-based voting through online and electronic means. It allows voters to cast ballots over the internet from any location. E-voting aims to provide instant results, make voting more convenient, and help increase voter turnout. However, some security and reliability concerns remain regarding online voting and ensuring the integrity of election results. Further encryption, verification methods, and testing of different e-voting systems is still needed.
This document summarizes research from multiple studies that sought to understand the voter experience. The research involved over 500 stories and perspectives from voters, 30 researchers, and work in 145 counties and 12 states.
The key findings were that the voting process involves many more steps than most people realize, the mental models of voters and election officials do not always align, and voters make rational decisions to continue or drop out of the process at each step. Significant challenges include low civic literacy, a lack of clear and unbiased information sources, and obstacles caused by information access, voting rights issues, time/deadlines, data/technology, and travel/logistics. Improving the voter experience requires addressing these challenges.
This document provides an analysis and recommendations from students at the Harvard Kennedy School regarding the Elections Department of an unnamed city. It examines the department's services, time allocation, benchmarks, and provides goals and recommendations to increase the percentage of active voters, improve the voter experience, and increase civic engagement. Key recommendations include expanded voter outreach through phone/text, public signs, and door-to-door canvassing. It also suggests streamlining the voting process and expanding polling place capacity to reduce wait times.
Voter turnout in the United States is significantly lower for midterm elections compared to presidential elections, with 132 million voters turning out for the 2012 presidential election but only 90 million for midterm elections. A major reason for lower turnout is process issues rather than apathy, as 11 million eligible voters cited problems with registration or voting procedures. The nonprofit TurboVote aims to increase voter turnout by making the voting process easy through tools that send users reminders and help them complete registration and absentee forms. TurboVote users who registered through their system had a 75-80% turnout in 2012, higher than the national average.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
