Ukusungulwa Kokuqondisa Kokhetho

Ukuqondisa ukubusa kwentando yeningi kwakha umgogodla wokuqondisa kwentando yeningi, ukuhumushela intando yabavoti emiphumeleni esemthethweni. Kuhlanganisa ukuhlelwa kwezimiso zomthetho eziyinkimbinkimbi, imishini esebenzayo, nezimiso zezobuchwepheshe − kusukela endleleni izakhamuzi ezibhalisa ngayo indlela i-bollat ephonswa ngayo, izibalo, futhi iqinisekiswe ngayo. Eminyakeni yamuva, ukucubungula okukhulu ngokulawula nokuphumelela kwezimiso ezithile kwenza ukuphumelela kwemisebenzi ethile yezenqubo yokuhlela kwabakhiphi bemithetho, izikhulu zokuvota, izikhulu zokuvota, kanye nezimiso zomphakathi. Ukhetho olungalawuleki lungaqeda ukwethemba, ukuphenduphenduka, futhi ludale amathuba amaphutha noma ukukhohlisa. Ngokuphikisana, ukuhlelwa kwezenzo zokusetshenziswa kwezehlakalo, imiphumela elondekile, nokulondeka okugciniwe. Lesi sihloko sinikeza ukucubunga okuningi kwezimiso zokuvota, ukuvota, ukuvola komphakathi wonke, ukuvota, ukuvolwa kobufakazi obusenyulwa kwe-United States.

Imikhuba Yokuqondisa Okuyisihluthulelo Kokhetho

Ukubhalisa ngevoter

Izindlela ezisetshenziswa ekubhaliseni izakhamuzi ezifanele zinethonya eliqondile ebukhulwini nasebumeleni bevotary. Izilinganiso eziningana ziye zasetshenziswa, ngayinye inezici eziqinile nezinselele ezihlukile.

Ukubhalisa i Voter okuzenzekelayo (AVR)

Imishini yokuvota ezenzekelayo yokuvota e-vticelwayo kahulumeni okhona − njengokuthola ilayisense yokushayela noma ukushintsha ikheli − ukubhalisa izakhamuzi ezifanele ngaphandle kokuba zikhethe. Ngo-2024, izifundazwe ezingaphezu kuka-20 kanye ne-Fourtical of Columbia ziye zamukela i-AVR. Ukucwaninga kwe-Brennan Center yeJaji kubonisa ukuthi i-AVR ngokuphawulekayo yandisa amazinga okubhalisa, ezinye izizwe zibona isandiswa kwemisebenzi yokulawula nokungahambisela phambili kwemigomo.

Ukubhalisa kosuku olufanayo (SDR)

Izakhamuzi ezifanelekele zivumela ukubhaliswa ngosuku olufanayo ukuba zibhalise futhi zivote ngosuku olulodwa, kungaba phakathi nokuvota kwasekuqaleni noma ngoSuku Lokhetho. Ngokwe- uNgqungquthela yesizwe ye-Legistratures, izifunda-21 ne-Fourtical of Columbia inikeza uhlobo oluthile lwe-SDR. Ukuhlola kubonisa njalo ukuthi i-SDR i-SDR ibhebhebhebhebhethezela ngesilinganiso samaphuzu angamashumi amathathu namahlanu, njengoba isusa imibandela yokubhalisa engasusa iselula noma i-procrancreactive. Nokho, idinga ukuqeqeshwa kwezisebenzi zokuhlola i-SDR kanye kanye kanye nokuthola ulwazi lwesikhathi esingokoqobo ukuze kuvinjelwe ukubhalisa noma ukubhalisa okukhohlisayo.

Ukubhalisa ngolayini

Amathilomu okuvota angaphakathi anikeza indlela engcono, ephansi yokubhalisa noma yokuvuselela ulwazi. Kusukela ngo-2024, 42 amadolobha anikeza ukubhalisa nge-inthanethi. I-Precious Trusts[ ithola ukuthi ngokubhalisa nge-webhusayithi iveza amazinga aphakeme okubhalisa phakathi kwabavoti abasebasha nalabo abangakwazi ukunyakaza. Ukufinyelela kwe-injini kuhlala kuyinto ephambili, nakuba i-inthaneti i-securecurency nemvume yalezozikhulumi ezingangeni Kumelwe ikhulunywe.

Ukubhalisa Kwangaphambi Kwezakhamuzi Ezisezincane

Izifundazwe eziningi zivumela abantu abaneminyaka engu - 16 noma engu - 17 ukuba babhaliswe ngaphambi kokuba babhaliswe, ngakho uma beneminyaka engu - 18, lo mkhuba, osekelwa izinhlangano ezinjengeFair Ecomments Center, usiza ekwakheni imikhuba yokuvota yaphakade futhi unciphisa izithiyo ezibathinta ngesikhathi beqala ukuvota.

Ubuchwepheshe Nezimiso Zokuthutha Imishini

Imishini eyayisetshenziselwa ukuvota futhi ibale i - confict ebucayi yokusebenza kahle nokulondeka. Ukushintshela ezindleleni ezifakazelwe zephepha kuye kwaba ukutusa okuvumelanayo kochwepheshe bezokuphepha kokhetho.

Imishini Ye - electronic (I - DERE)

Imishini elungisa i-electronic (DRE) esetshenziswa kakhulu, iye yahlolwa ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngokugoboza, amaphutha e-software, nokuntuleka kombhalo wephepha okwazi ukufundwa. Izindawo eziningi ziye zawahlukanisa ukuze zisekele izimiso eziveza i-coocter-collet yephepha eligunyaziwe. Njengango-2024, izifunda ezimbalwa kuphela ezisathembele kuphela kumaDE ngaphandle komzila wephepha, ngokwe- i-odoct Volting [. Inzuzo eyinhloko ye-DEs iyisivinini ekubikeni imiphumela, kodwa izazi zezokuvikela ziyatusa kakhulu ukuba zithathe indawo ngezimiso ezivumela ukuba i-posi i-'explunts.

Izinkinobho zomdwebo wokubona

Izimiso ze-optical scan zivumela abavoti ukuba baphawule i-bolot yephepha (ngokugcwalisa i-oval, ngokuxhumanisa imicibisholo, noma ngokusebenzisa isisetshenziswa sokuphawula) bese kuhlolwa lezo zincwadi ngomshini wokudweba. Lendlela ihlanganisa isivinini sokubala ngemishini nekhono lokuhlola amaphepha ezandla noma ukulandisa nge-colot engokoqobo. Izimiso zokuhlola i-opic zisetshenziswa kakhulu engxenyeni enkulu ye-U.S. futhi zibhekwa kakhulu njengendlela elondekile nengaphinde i-acishini ekhona. Izwe elinje i-Georgia ne-Pennsylvanian liye lamukela amabhuloti abhalwe ngesandla nge-operalmscracletry e-operator ukuze kuqinisekiswe i-tracer-operal.

Iposi- Ngokusakaza nangoku-Vote-by-Mail

Ukuvota ngeposi, ikakhulukazi i-vBM ebanzi ngeposi (VBM) njengoba kwenziwa e-Colorado, e-Oregon, e-Utah, nakwezinye izifundazwe, kuye kwanwetshwa ukufinyelela nokukhushulelwa. Bonke abavoti ababhalisiwe bathola ibhola lokuvota ngeposi, abangabuya ngeposi, ngeposi, noma ngebhokisi lokuthumela. Izifundo ezingu-202020 ezivela kwi-Stanford-Mit Healthy Healthy Evolutions Projects zithola ukuthi iVBM yanda ngokuhlela ngo-2/4% ngokhetho lukahulumeni, kanye nemiphumela emikhulu phakathi kwe-projects-Revolution. Nokho, izihloko eziphathelene nokwenziswa kwe-kubekwa kwe-simende, ukuthunyelwa kwe-kuthunyelwa kwe-operati, ukupotshova inqubo yokwelapha i-boloti ye-mentiactive.

Izisetshenziswa zokuphawula zebhola (BMD)

Ibhola lokudweba imishini iklanyelwe ukusiza abavoti abakhubazekile ngokuvumela ukuba baphawule ibhola lomshini ngokusebenzisa isikrini sokuthinta, i-meoct, noma olunye ubuchwepheshe obusizayo. Isisetshenziswa sinyathelisa ibhola lephepha elihlolwayo. Nakuba ama-BMD efunwa umthetho ukuze anikeze ukufinyelela okulinganayo, okunye ukuhlola kusikisela ukuthi bangachayeka ekusebenziseni kabi ukhetho lwabavoti. Izikhulu ze-Ecomtion kumele ziqinisekise ukuthi ama-BMDs ayavivinywa futhi ahlolwe ngokuhluzeka, futhi kukhona iziyalezo nosizo olucacile.

Ukusebenza Kwezinhlaka Zemvelo Nokuqeqeshwa Kwazo

Izisebenzi zempova zingamanxusa aphambili okhetho. Ikhono lawo nokuziphatha kuthinta ngokuqondile ukuqiniseka kovoti nokusebenza okushelelayo kwezindawo zokuvota. Izinselele, ikakhulukazi ekuthembeleni kumavolontiya asekhulile, ziye zabangela imibuso eminingi ekuqeqesheni nasekuthatheni izintambo zesimanje.

Izinhlelo Zokuqeqesha Nokuvivinya Imishini

Ukuqeqeshwa okuphumelelayo kudlulela ngalé kokufunda incwadi yesandla. IMichigan neFlorida ziye zasebenzisa ukuvivinya izandla ngemishini okuvumela izisebenzi zokuvota ukuba zikwazi ukulungiselela imishini, zisize abavoti, ziphathe izivalo eziphuthumayo, futhi zixazulule ukungavumelani kwevoti. i-Online directives, i-apps eneziqondiso ezisheshayo, kanye nokuhlola kophawu olusesilinganisweni se-creding manje. I-Ecomplifict Consolation Commis (EAC) inikeza umsebenzi [FLT: 0] wesisebenzi sokuhlola i-vota, nokuqeqesha i- okuhlanganisa isiqondiso sosizo lolimi, i-essacence, nokuthola.

Ukuphinde Ufunde Nokubhala Ngezibalo

Isidingo esandayo sezisebenzi zokuvota ngezilimi ezimbili kanye nezisebenzi ezisencane siye saholela ekusebenzelaneni nezikole eziphakeme, amakholiji, nezinhlangano zomphakathi. Ezinye izifundazwe manje zivumela isikhathi esikhokhelwayo sezisebenzi zokuvota noma zinikeze abafundi imali. Indawo yokuvota ehlukene nefanele inciphisa izikhathi futhi ithuthukisa ukwaneliseka. Imininingwane yamashumi amabili22 enkathi yaphakathi kwamashumi amabili eveza ukuthi izifunda zezindawo zokuhlola ezinezingcingo ezinesilinganiso zazinesikhathi esingaphansi kwemizuzu eyishumi, uma kuqhathaniswa nemizuzu engu-30 ezindaweni ezingaphansi kwezisebenzi.

Ukusebenza Nomsebenzi Wosuku Lokukhetha Nokuhamba Kusenesikhathi

Ngalé kosuku ngokwalo, inkathi yokuvota kwakuqala iye yanda ngokuphawulekayo, ivumela abavoti ukuba bavumelane nezimo ngokwengeziwe futhi inciphise ukuminyana ngoSuku Lokuvota.

Izikhungo Zokuqala Zokuvula Izitshalo

Ukuvota kwasekuqaleni, okuvame ukuthathwa ngefasitela lezinsuku eziyishumi kuya kwezingu-30 ngaphambi koSuku Lokhetho, kuye kwamukelwa ngezifunda ezingu-46. Kunciphisa ukucindezeleka kwezindawo zokuvota nezihlalo zabavoti abanezibopho zomsebenzi noma zomkhaya. Izwe elinjengoTexas neFlorida liye labona amavoti angaphezu kwamashumi ama-60% akhankanyiwe ngaphambi koSuku Lokhetho. Nokho, ukuhlukaniswa kwenani nendawo yokuvota kwakuqala nendawo kungadala izikhawu ezingafanele. Ukucwaninga kweNgqungquthela ye-Profethi ye-Civil kanye nenkululeko yomphakathi kuye kwaqokomisa ukuthi imiphakathi emincane ngokuvamile inezindawo zokuvota eqala phambili ngo-2001, kuholela emigqeleni emide kakhulu. Imikhuba engcono ihlanganisa ukusebenzisa i-data-dmini yokukhetha, ukunikela impela kanye nokuhlwa, nokuqinisekisa usizo lwezizwe ngezizwe.

Ukungcolisa Indawo Yokuphatha Ngosuku Lokukhetha

NgoSuku Lokukhetha, abaphathi abaphumelelayo bahlanganisa ukuhlanganisa izisebenzi ezinele nemishini, ukugcina ukuxhumana ngokukhululekile nendlunkulu yokhetho, kanye namasuntswana okuvumelanayo ekwehlulekeni kwemishini noma kwezinye izimo eziphuthumayo. Izindawo eziningi manje zisebenzisa izincwadi zokuvota ngogesi ukuze zisheshise futhi zinciphise amaphutha. Ukuhlola isikhathi esingokoqobo, njengamathuluzi anikezwa yiVoting Information Project, kuvumela abavoti ukuba bakhethe izindawo zokuhlola ezingagcwele. Isimiso siqinisekisa ukuthi akukho mvoti olinda ngaphezu kwemizuzu engu-30, njengoba kutuswa yi-Presidential Commission on Evotificial Administration.

Vote Centers vs. Precint-Based Voings

Amanye ama-opera athathe indawo yezindawo zokuvota ezisekelwe esiteji esisesitejini ngenani elincane kakhulu lapho noma yimuphi umvoti obhalisiwe kulesifundazwe engaphonsa khona i-bolot. I-Maricopa County yase-Arizona ne-Denver County ye-Colorado iye yasungula izikhungo zokuvota ngempumelelo, ibika imigqa emifushane nezindleko eziphansi. Ibhizinisi elingaphandle liyisidingo sokuthola indawo eqinile yomphakathi ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba abavoti bayazi ukukhethayo kanye namandla anele esikhungweni ngasinye.

Imikhankaso Yangemva Kokhetho

Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imiphumela ebikwayo ihambisana namavoti angokoqobo kubalulekile ukuze kwethenjwe. Ukuhlola iposi lokukhetha kungaqhutshwa kusampula lamaphepha noma njengoba kulandisa ngokugcwele kuye ngokuthi umncintiswano usondele kangakanani noma kungenzeka ukuthi iphutha.

Izinqumo Eziyingozi (RL)

Ukuhlola izingozi kusebenzisa izindlela zezibalo zokuhlola isampula yamabhola futhi kunikeze ubufakazi obuqinile bokuthi umphumela ulungile, ngaphandle kokudinga ukulandiswa okugcwele ezimweni eziningi. Ngo-2024, okungenani amazwe angu-15 aye agunyaza i-RLS. Colorado ebengumholi, eqhuba i-RL Asland kusukela ngo-2017. Brennan Center yeJaji [[ ikhuthaza i-RL njengendinganiso yegolide ngoba iyakwazi ukuqaphela ukukhohlisa noma iphutha le-software ngokuqiniseka okukhulu. Inqubo idinga umkhondo wephepha ne-bipartissan, inezela ekulandiseni.

Amaphuzu Agcwele Nokushaya Insimbi Ngezandla

Emijahweni esondelene, ukulandisa okugcwele kungagunyazwa umthetho noma kucelwe yi-odanti. Isandla silandisa, kuyilapho ukuhlanganisa isikhathi nokubiza, kuyindlela eqinisekisa kakhulu. I-2020 yeGeorgia umongamelial yabonisa kokubili izinselele zomthetho (izibalo ezibalwa ngesandla) kanye nokuqinisekisa komphakathi okuvela enqubeni ekhanyayo, i-bipartisan. Izifunda eziningi manje zidinga ukulandisa ngokuzenzakalela lapho umphetho wesingeno esingaphansi komnyango ocaciwe (umz. 0,5% wamavoti).

Ubukhazikhazi Bokuwinwa Kwabantwana Nokuvikelwa Kwebhola

Kungakhathaliseki indlela yokuhlola, izinqubo eziqinile ze-kemptation ze-collet nemishini zibalulekile. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukufakwa kwezimpawu ezibonisa i-projective, ukugcina, ukuhlola kwevidiyo, kanye nezingodo ezibhaliwe zisuka ekuthwaleni nasekugcineni. I-EUFUF Application Commission inikeza izilinganiso zokuvikela i-bolot izifunda eziningi ezihlangene emthethweni.

Ithonya Lemikhuba Yokuqondisa Izokukhetha

Ukuphumelela kwale mikhuba kungalinganiswa ngezici eziningana eziyinhloko: umvoti, ukuthenjwa umphakathi, ukulondeka kokhetho, nokulingana kwamaqembu amanani abantu.

Ukusuka Ezindaweni Ezithile Nokuhlanganyela

Imikhuba enciphisa izindleko zokuvota (njengenani lokubhalisa okuzenzekelayo), ukubhalisa okufanayo ngosuku olulodwa, ukuvota ngeposi, nokuvota kwakuqala − ukuvumelana ngokulandelana ngokuya phezulu. I-meta-analysis ye-Brennan Center ithola ukuthi i-AVR ingakhuphula i-2-6%, ne SDR ngo-3/5%. Ukuvota kweposi, uma kusetshenziswa emhlabeni wonke, kukhushunyuswe nge-2/4% ekuhloleni okungaphezulu. Lokhu kukhulunyelwa ikakhulukazi phakathi kwentsha evotayo, abantu abanombala, nabangenayo ephansi ababhekene nemigoqo. Ngokungafani, imikhuba efaka iziphaka okukhulu, njengezinto zokuvota eziqinile noma ukuvota, ihlangene kakhulu, ngokwezifundo eziningi zezemfundo eziningi.

Ithemba Lomphakathi

Ukubona ngendawo kuyisici esiqinile sokuqiniseka. Imikhankaso eqhutshwa obala futhi ehilela izingqapheli ze-bipartis iqinisekisa abavoti ukuthi imiphumela inembile. Ekuhloleni kwamashumi amabini22 Pew Research, amaphesenti angu-70 abantu baseMelika babheka ukulondeka kwezimiso zabo zokukhetha njengephezulu noma ngaphezulu kakhulu, kodwa ukuhlukanisa okuphakathi kwemithetho eqinile. Izikhangiso ezifaka ukuhlolwa komphakathi kwemishini yokuvota, ukusakaza imibiko yokuhlola izibalo, ukunikeza izincazelo ezicacile zezinqubo ezithambekele ekujabuleleni ukwethenjwa kakhulu. Ukwamukelwa kwemikhondo yephepha elihloliweyo nemingcele yezingozi kuye kwaboniswa ukwandisa ukuqiniseka phakathi kwakho kokubili umphakathi nababelwayo, ukunciphisa ukusakazwa kwemibono yemikhankambi.

Ukulondeka Kokhetho Nobuqotho

Ukulondeka kuyinselele egcwele ukusongela nge-inthanethi, ukulondeka okungokomzimba kwamaqembu namathuluzi, kanye nezingozi. Ukuvumelana phakathi kochwepheshe bezokuphepha abavoti ukuthi inhlanganisela yokuhlola izikhali eziqinile, imishini elondekile, ukuhlola imishini, nokuhlola njalo, nezisebenzi kunikeza isivikelo esiqinile. Amabhuloho, ama-paper bollet, ama-pareter afaka izingozi zokuhlola i-intelligence, nokuvikela inqubo ye-colletting meters kanye nokuhlanganyela ulwazi phakathi kwabaqondisi bokhetho. I-Cybersecurity ne Infraccure Security Agency (CISAclature Security) inikeza imithombo yezokuvota zokuvikela izinhlelo ze-IT, ivikela ukubhalisa izinhlelo zokuvota, nokusabela ezimweni.

Ukulingana Nokutholakala

Izindawo zokuvota eziphumelelayo kumelwe ziqinisekise ukuthi zonke izakhamuzi ezifanelekayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zikhuluma luphi ulimi, zikhubazekile, noma zisesimweni sezenhlalo, zingavota ngaphandle kwezithiyo ezingadingekile. Imikhuba enjengezivoti zezilimi kanye nosizo, imishini yokuvota efinyelelekayo, i-migoqo engaphandle kokuvota, kanye nezisebenzi zokuvota zolimi olugunyaza zifaka impumelelo engcono. UMnyango weSishaya-Jamagente uphononolisa ilungiselelo lolimi lwe-Voting Rights Act, ifuna amagunya athile ukuze kunikezwe izinto eziphindwa ngezikhathi ezimbili. Umbiko ka-2024 ovela eMelika Bar Association waqokomisa ukuthi izifunda i-atmovery izibalo ze-operalbalot futhi ulahla izicelo zeposi.

Izinselele Neziqondiso Zesikhathi Esizayo

Naphezu kwentuthuko, kusele izinselele eziningi. Ukuxhasa ukuqondisa kokhetho ngokuvamile akuvumelani futhi kungaphansi kwemijikelezo yezombangazwe. Ukuxhasa kwe-2020 kobhadane-sponse ngokwezimali, okuningi kwakho okuye kwasetshenziswa, akuthathelwanga indawo ngokuphelele. Izinto zokusetshenziswa kufanele zithathelwe indawo njalo, izisebenzi kumelwe zikhokhelwe indawo efanele, futhi ukuncishiswa kwe-inthambiswano njalo kufuneke ukuba kutshalwe izimali. I-parisancation iye yaholela futhi ekubekeni imithetho eguquguqukayo ezifundazweni, iveza umsebenzi owenziwe ngendidi ongadida i-vota kanye nabaqondisi bokhetho. I-interstatestate data, nakuba isathuthuka, ibhekene nezithiyo.

Iziqondiso zesikhathi esizayo zihlanganisa ukuvunyelwa ngokuqhubekayo komvoti we-inthanethi nokubuyela konogwala osebenza nge-opera phesheya nangamanani abavoti bamazwe angaphandle, kuyilapho kugcinwa ukulondeka. Ukuhlakanipha kokwenza umsebenzi kungasetshenziselwa ukuthuthukisa ukuthembisana kwabavoti nokuzwa ukubhalisa noma izindlela zokujika, kodwa kumelwe kusetshenziswe ngezindlela zokuzivikela zomuntu siqu. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukuphatha kokhetho kudinga isibopho esingadingeyo somsebenzi wobuchwepheshe, ukubonakala kahle, nokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo. Ngokuhlola imisebenzi nokuvumelana nemikhuba engcono kakhulu, izikhulu zokhetho zingaqinisa isisekelo sobuningi sentando yentando yeningi.

Isiphetho

Ukuhlola ukuphumelela kwezindlela ezihlukahlukene zokuhlela kwembula ukuthi akukho nguquko eyodwa ekhona enikeza i-panace. Kunalokho, indlela yokubhalisa ehlanganisa ukubhalisa okuzenzekelayo noma kosuku olunye, ubuchwepheshe bokuvota obusekelwe ephepheni, ubuchwepheshe bokuvota obuqeqeshiwe, izisebenzi zokuvota ezingcono ezithatha isikhathi esibanzi neposi, nokuhlolwa okuqinile kwenqubo yangemva kokhetho, nokuhlola okuqinile kuveza imiphumela engcono kakhulu yokuthatha igalelo, ukuqiniseka komphakathi, nokulondeka. Umthetho ofaka kule misebenzi, ozaziswe ngobufakazi nangenhlangothi oluqinile nolugcwele. Ukucwaninga okuqhubekayo, ukufunda nge-jurisdictionigation, nokusekela inzuzo okusemqondweni wobuqotho nokutholakala kokhetho kuzo zonke izakhamuzi.
