"Elections Nova Scotia has signed a contract with an international corporation specializing in online voting software to develop a platform ahead of the next provincial election.
The contract with Scytl Canada Inc. includes $150,000 to develop the platform and $200,000 for operations during an election. It's expected the system's development will take about a year.
Amendments to the Elections Act in 2021 allowed for the use of internet voting for military members stationed outside Nova Scotia during an election.
Chief electoral officer Dorothy Rice hopes the platform will improve a situation for people who, in the past, felt excluded from the voting process and "that they will be engaged with the electoral process and democracy," she said in an interview.
Rice said the system would be evaluated following the next election in 2025, but so far there have not been talks about expanding access beyond military members.
"There may be some opportunities for further developments there, but not at this point in time. Those ideas have not been floated."
With its main office in Barcelona, Scytl has been developing internet voting software for 20 years. Its systems have been used in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Australia. Scytl has also designed platforms for municipal elections in Canada, including for the Halifax Regional Municipality and the cities of Vaughan and Markham in Ontario."

[H]ere is a quick guide for how to respond to some issues on Election Day, along with a handy resource from our friends at Verified Voting indicating what equipment is used in each polling place across the nation.
One point raised is that emergency ballots are distinct from provisional ballots, emergency ballots are always counted. Every polling place should have emergency ballots available. It is not too late to make sure they’ve got them.
xkcd: Voting Software
There are lots of very smart people doing fascinating work on cryptographic voting protocols. We should be funding and encouraging them, and doing all our elections with paper ballots until everyone currently working in that field has retired.
A Tory mp just suggested a voting app for future general elections, here is an old video from Tom Scott about why that is an awful awful idea

BREAKING:🚨MADURO SAYS OBAMA, BIDEN ADMINISTRATIONS "ACTIVELY AIDED AND ABETTED" VENEZUELAN NARCOTERRORISTS IN SMUGGLING DEADLY DRUGS INTO UNITED STATES, HELPED HIS REGIME RIG US ELECTIONS IN EXCHANGE FOR PERSONAL PROFIT
Information provided by : Paul Blacano
Now imprisoned former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who was in power during both the Obama and Biden presidencies here in The United States, is reportedly SINGING LIKE A CANARY to federal authorities and giving up the names of top former Obama and Biden administration officials, allegedly ALL THE WAY UP TO OBAMA AND BIDEN THEMSELVES, that he claims not only knew about - but were actually PAID A PRETTY PERSONAL PENNY to assist Venezuelan narcoterrorist organizations in trafficking deadly drugs into our country and to work hand in hand with the socialist dictator and his government to RIG American elections in favor of Democrat candidates by use of Venezuelan made Dominion and Smartmatic electronic voting machines.
In other words, our former Presidents and their governments were behaving like mob organizations and selling our country out to an enemy foreign government to destroy our democracy and poison our people in order to stuff their own pockets.
They have the blood of MILLIONS of our citizens on their hands... This is perhaps THE GREATEST ACT OF TREASON ever committed in the history of our country.
This is the real reason that President Trump captured Maduro and brought him to The United States to face trial... By the time that he is done SPILLING THE BEANS, all of Washington may be in an orange jumpsuit with him.
