Dear ACT Electoral Commission,

In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2016, I apply for access to documents held by the Commission, including correspondence, relating to the QR codes used in the 2020 election.

I apply for access to documents containing information about:
* audits of QR codes issued for voting and administrative actions
* missing or extra QR codes
* inconsistencies in QR code production, handling, or destruction
* reviews or changes to the audit method or process
* the algorithm used to create voter QR code data

I also apply for documents containing totals and statistics about the number of QR codes:
* printed
* issued to voters or polling officials
* scanned
* recovered from voters or polling officials
* destroyed
and how many times each QR code was scanned.

To be clear, I am seeking summary statistics and individual QR code exception reports. You can exclude documents that only consist of detailed information about large numbers of typical QR codes.

Yours faithfully,
T Wilson-Brown

Dear ACT Electoral Commission,

Hi,

Just a quick amendment:

I would also like documents containing information about:
* the algorithm used to generate the admin QR codes which authenticate polling officials
* audits and summary statistics for the QR codes used during user acceptance testing, since they are identical to the QR codes used during the election

Yours faithfully,

T Wilson-Brown

Dear Ro,

Thank you for contacting me to clarify my request.
In the interests of transparency, I would prefer to clarify my request in writing.

Which parts of my request would you like me to clarify?

Yours sincerely,

T Wilson-Brown

Dear Ro,

As a general clarification, I am seeking documents related to the following Elections ACT processes:

"Election officials in electronic polling places account for e-voting cards in much the same way as they do for paper ballots. They provide records of e-voting cards issued which are compared with the number of electronic votes cast."

https://www.elections.act.gov.au/electio...

"reports of errors, votes not concluded" as described on page 14 of the eVACS Operational Concept Description:
https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/6...

The various checks and reconciliations described on page 41 of the HAZOP Study eVACS a election system, which contain information about discrepancies between the number of e-voting cards issued, and the number of votes recorded:
https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/6...

I am also seeking documents related to similar admin QR code tracking processes that Elections ACT carries out to ensure election security. And I am seeking other documents related to QR Code security, as specified in my request.

Yours sincerely,

T Wilson-Brown
