Responsible use

Goal and impact

With this algorithm, we offer a service to volunteers through customised offers of locations, functions and training. The consequence of the algorithm is that volunteers must first have gained certain experience before being allowed to perform certain more responsible functions. Previous training also affects the current required/not required training offer. The Polling Station Manager thus helps ensure the quality of elections.

Considerations

Offer in location is a convenience we offer volunteers, all locations with available positions can be chosen. By also matching positions with experience and offering appropriate training, we ensure the quality of elections.

Human intervention

The system determines after configuration. The configuration may be set so that exception/special cases go to a validation bin. Then an employee checks the login. There is also a dashboard to monitor the progress of notifications.

  • When conducting elections, data of polling station members and volunteers is maintained in the application Polling Station Manager. Two types of algorithms are deployed, namely 1. location algorithm to show volunteers the voting locations in their own area and 2. experience algorithm that uses the experience of volunteers to suggest appropriate positions and training
