Goal and impact
For a specific election, automatically select all eligible voters from the residents as registered in the municipality's Basic Registration of Persons (BRP). And thereby determine, for the various types of elections (e.g. Lower House, Provincial Council, Municipal Council), which Osse residents are eligible to vote for the election in question.
Considerations
Results Uthiek Assessment: by determining Oxenians entitled to vote in elections, we contribute to the democratic functioning of our public administration. In doing so, we fulfil the value of Autonomy, by giving Oxen citizens the right to vote. Data analysis takes place in a safe, responsible and protected manner. This fulfils the values of Privacy and Control of Technology. Everyone who is entitled to vote is thus allowed to vote in the relevant election, regardless of personal situation or context. In doing so, we give substance to the value Human Dignity.
Without the use of an algorithm, this selection cannot be made within the time limit specified in the Elections Act (1 day). Also, a selection of around 75% of the total number of inhabitants is qualitatively better made with an algorithm than by hand.
Human intervention
The selection of eligible voters is checked by a staff member. If necessary, eligible voters are manually added or removed from the list.
Risk management
The algorithm makes a decision entirely independently without the intervention of an employee and without the interpretation of the relevant context.

Data
The application of the algorithm within this process includes the following data of Osse residents from the BRP:
- nationality
- age
- duration of residence permit
- registration European Right to Vote for non-Dutch EU nationals at an EU election
- date of registration in the municipality
This determines whether Osse residents are entitled to vote at the relevant election. The requirements for each election (e.g. House of Representatives, Provincial Council, Municipal Council) differ in practice.
