During last year’s student council elections, electronic voting experiments were conducted using student ID cards. The system was operated by Wiscit, a team of students working under the guidance of TNO-TPD. The system was their graduation project. Despite some minor problems, the system functioned well, but when TU’s voting committee tried to use the system again this year, they discovered that the system’s technical description was innaccurate. The committee doesn’t know how the program works and report that it will take many months to figure it out. Elections, meanwhile, are scheduled for May 10.
