متن کاملStyle Guide for Voting System Documentation: Why User-Centered Documentation Matters to Voting Security
In this paper, we assert that usability and security for poll workers are intimately linked in enabling free, fair, and secure elections. By focusing on these important but often neglected users of voting systems in designing voting systems, unintended security problems can be avoided.
