Voting Attackathon

Cybersecurity Rule #6: Trust is something that you give... not something that is taken or imposed on you

Hackathons focused on testing online voting systems, are essential for building trust in digital democracy. By simulating real-world attacks, stress-testing security protocols, and uncovering vulnerabilities before they affect voting sessions, these events ensure that i-voting platforms are robust, transparent, and tamper-resistant. They also engage communities of developers, civic tech experts, and stakeholders in collaborative problem-solving, demonstrating a commitment to accountability and strengthening public confidence in the integrity of digital voting processes

First pilot

Our first edition was done at the facilities of Instituto Pedro Nunes, and brought together a small group — but the right group: a top expert from Vocdoni as well as critical voices who gave real meaning to the event. The quality of the conversations proved that the impact is not only measured in numbers

Our vision

Our vision is to replicate the pilot program and make Voting Attackathons widely adopted, turning them into a standard practice for testing, securing, and building public trust in online voting systems
