At Hasgeek we started a project focused on examining the technology interventions in elections <https://hasgeek.com/onevote>. The initial idea was to gather evidence around the introduction of blockchain in elections. First with media reports of a prototype and then the Telangana State Election Commission running a mock remote voting session it is becoming clear that more engagement, awareness and outreach is necessary. The project has published an interim report and here's a link to the PR <https://hasgeek.com/onevote/technology-trust-and-elections/updates/press-release-about-the-interim-report-QNzFPW5qaBtX4aYWK3kGrm>
We have a conference coming up in January 2022 and a pre conference meetup this week on 10th. And we want to reach out to academics, researchers and activists who are working in this space to have them speak about their work at our webinars. If the members on this list could help with any introductions or pointers to interesting projects on voting technologies that would be fantastic! /s
