"With the introduction of 100% machine voting in our country, thousands of question marks arose. There is a lot of speculation about terminological concepts - parameterization of voting machines, for example, audit and certification are commented on, however, the software used to vote is not checked and there are no controls for this. I recommend that 100% of the receipts at the CEC be counted and that this be controlled by the CEC in relation to one of the media - flash drives".

This is what Assoc. Zlatogor Minchev from the Institute of Information Technologies at the BAS told the BNR.

Where can we practice voting with a machine in Sofia?

And he added that even if there is a discrepancy between the receipts and the minutes, 

there is no guarantee that the correct results of the vote will be recorded

.

"The certification of the machines should not take place in a static mode, but in a dynamic mode. 

We outsource the entire task to a private company, which is unacceptable

. We count the receipts, take out the protocols, we have some flash drives. What will be reported in the end?".

"Technology is the future of the digital society, but it must be done in the right way.

 An experimental technology without a transition process with a political decision cannot be introduced 100%

. There are mistakes everywhere in technology".
