Resumo


In this paper, we describe an ongoing project on a vote tallying system based on computer vision. The core idea consists of recording the votes into paper ballots containing markings that can be read by a software using computer vision. The software reads the markings from a video recorded during the elections. The video can be made publicly available, so that any interested party can check that the tallying is correct.
