post-evoting

Deutsch

Die Post hat den Source Code ihrer E-Voting-Plattform in einem privaten GitLab-Repository zur Verfügung gestellt.

Leider ist die Dokumentation zu Kompilierung und Deployment sehr mager. Deshalb sammelt das Magazin Republik hier Patches, damit man das System «untersuchen, verändern, kompilieren und ausführen» kann – so wie es die Verordnung der Bundeskanzlei über die elektronische Stimmabgabe (VEleS) verlangt.

English

The Swiss Post has released the source code of its e-voting platform as a private, registration-required repository on GitLab. Here, the magazine Republik collects patches to “examine, modify, compile and execute” the system, in accordance with the Federal Chancellery Ordinance on Electronic Voting (VEleS).
