After a software error, the preliminary results of the Saxon state elections had to be corrected and the seat distribution subsequently changed. There have also been problems with the Austrian elections in the past. For example, the BP round-robin elections in 2016 had to be repeated due to defective glue. In 2023, an Excel counting problem caused a stir at the SPÖ. How hopeful are you that the National Council elections in September will go smoothly?
Software bugs, technical defects and human errors – there are many possible causes that can lead to election accidents. But how transparently are such problems communicated to the public? Do such incidents undermine your confidence in the smooth running of the elections? Should more information be provided to ensure the trust of voters? We look forward to hearing your opinion in the comments!
