WHY WE INVESTED
Americans are willing to collectively spend a billion dollars to support presidential campaigns, but yet rely on 1990-era elections technology that requires costly maintenance and inflexible vendor dependence for years. The Open Source Election Technology Foundation (OSET), and its main project TrustTheVote, seek to increase transparency, improve consistency, and restore trust in how America votes.
By bringing substantial innovation to election and voting systems through an adaptable, flexible, full-featured election technology framework that will be open-source and available for free to all jurisdictions, OSET is working to end the gamble that every major election becomes by relying on obsolete machinery.
