1: Above card has a chip and recorded data on voting rights,constituency information and so on etc. [Already exists]
2: New system should have an insert/IR scanner to acquire voter information. [Dirt cheap]
3: Once the voter info is acquired by an operator, the voter should give his/her palm and Retina scan to establish positive ID.
4: Voter's ID card should be enabled for 400 seconds only to cast vote after a positive ID match.
5: Voter should be returned the activated ID and directed to a voice enabled screen,where the candidates options are displayed.
6: Displayed options have to be very simple,with candidate's photo,name,party and symbol.
7: Once the voter selects the candidate, a confirmation message is displayed [time delayed] if confirmation is received,voter gets a printed receipt of their vote with info about time,halka,serial number,date,CNIC number and the candidate, with a barcode printed under for re-scan and for any complaints. The machine prints a receipt of its own and keeps it in a locker,only to be opened once a day by the chief polling agent and the appointed Army officer upon presenting their IDs within 60 seconds and a password.
8: So the vote is casted and the voter gets the blue ink and leaves,through a different door.
9: Every machine should only have data of the registered voters of that constituency and upon casting a ballot the voter's name must be permanently written off the system databse,restricting the voters ability to vote again for a set period of time.
10: Voting machine must NOT be linked to ANY network for preventing hacking, it must have 3 hard drives to store multiple data layers of the voting information. 1 hard drive must be internal and cannot be removed, 2 should be removeable only after the ID card of the chief polling agent is presented with no more than 1 removal per 24 hours allowed, if more are attempted the EVM will alert the QRF of the Army,using a distress signal,and a loud alarm. [No rocket science]
11: 1 Hard drive at the end of the polling day will be removed by the Chief polling agent and the Army incharge and connected to a computer which is linked to the election database through a highly secure unshared Wide Area Network. The results are transmitted to the main election databse to be announced and the hard drive is removed and sealed,only to be opened by ECP later. [No rocket science technology required]
12: All receipts are retrieved and carefully packed and sealed, only to be opened by ECP later.
13: All polling stations must have multiple electricity sources ie backup generators.
14: Machine must have a camera and everyone's image must be stored in the internal hard drive. Multiple attempts to alter the EVM should result in distress signals sent to the authorities. Number of distress signals should be ranked nationally and that should determine any re-counts of the ballot.
15: Anyone found to be meddeling with the EVM should face high treason charges and life imprisonment.
----------------------------------------------------------------
90% of the technology already exists, it will become cheaper when mass produced only thing missing is the political will on behalf of those who win by rigging.
Possibility of such a system being introduced. 1%
