Introduced in May 2019, the free software development kit (SDK) was created in collaboration with Galois, aiming to provide end-to-end verification of elections. Moreover, the tool opens election results to third-party organizations for secure validation.
Made available last year to election officials and technology suppliers to incorporate into voting systems, ElectionGuard was also included in Microsoft’s bug bounty program in October 2019, with the company willing to pay up to $15,000 for security bugs.
