The People of the TrustTheVote Project
The TrustTheVote project is a technology development team of people with skills in software and systems development, product management, technical standards and interoperability. Some project members are staff provided by the Open Source Digital Voting Foundation (OSDV). Some are volunteers working on a specific part of the project. Some are in our advisory group of experts in computing technology or elections operations, including members of academia, commercial, and public administration. The project as a whole is managed by a small full-time team of highly experienced technologists serving as architects and project leads.
The TrustTheVote Stakeholder Community is also a key element in the project’s operation. Managed by the OSDV Foundation, the Stakeholder Community is a group of elections officials and technologists who receive regular updates on TTV project work product, and volunteer their time to provide comments on the project’s Request for Comment documents and software demonstrations. The team is guided by their feedback, in support of the goal of producing election technology that meets the real and various needs of U.S. elections operations today.
An Open Team
The TTV team is open to all who have an interest in elections and technology, willing to get involved and contribute to ongoing work in TTV System components for ballot design, ballot casting and counting, voter record management, and other parts of election administration.
