VHTi Management Tools
Introduction
VHTi Management Tools are used during the election preparation and post-election canvass/audit phases. Before and after the election, election authorities perform a few steps from a central location to set up VoteHere solutions for the election and enable decrypted vote tallying for the final results. These steps are performed in a highly automated fashion using VHTi Management Tools.
VHTi Management Tools provide several benefits:
- Enable VoteHere solutions to work with any election system
- Make election preparation an easy and highly automated process
- Make reporting and publishing results simple and highly automated
