Professor Alan Sherman [2] has received an award from NSF's CyberTrust program to organize and run the first of what is hoped to be an annual conference and competition. Student teams will design and implement a complete voting system that must have been used in some election, such as one for a student government or organization, by May 2007. Papers describing and analyzing the system are then submitted for the conference and used to select candidates for the final competition. The conference, to be held in Portland in July 2007, will include demonstrations, mock elections, submitted presentations and invited talks. A panel of judges will make awards for the best overall system, best presentation, best attack, and best paper on voting system metrics. More information on the competition, its rules, and an example system is available at [2].
