KVOTE 2010 - Software for automatic evaluation of the results from the election process in Republic of Kosovo

The new System for the parliamentary elections in December in 2010 in Kosovo is the platform iVote and it is with improved functionality and here Innovation also provided the full support during and after the process.

Our role (as a support onsite during the process) continues to consist of technical assistance in the area of managing electoral and voters IT systems, but also of building the capacity of the local IT staff to further maintain the system and provide the required reports and information to the Central Election Commission.

When designing the software we were guided by the objective of the Kosovo Elections - transparent, secure and correct results for the parliamentary elections. The CEC of Kosovo wanted to collect all the materials, final voters’ lists and items from all over Kosovo, from all Municipalities and Polling Stations and insert all voter lists data, results forms and all items into the system, and to have better image about the process of collecting and insertion of the items and the final results.

The time needed to process and publish the results has greatly reduced compared to the previous elections, giving the CEC a clear picture of the state during the whole election process.
