This paper, recommends voter-verifiable paper ballots and routine audits of paper ballots to verify tabulation and detect compromised systems.

This report describes Colorado's online risk limiting audits tool, risk-limit concepts, and county-facing implementation details after statewide adoption.

This paper sets out principles for reliable post-election tabulation audits, including voter-verifiable paper records, transparency, ballot protection, and statistical rigor.

In this paper, authors provide a concise policy-oriented introduction to evidence-based elections and risk limiting audits, including legislative principles and implementation considerations.

In this book, authors analyze whether systematic outcomes arise from distinctive election policies in the American states. They establish a cost of voting index to evaluate which states have a higher cost of voting, how this cost impacts who votes, and whether there is a correlation between the cost of voting and minority populations.

This report highlights key trends in voter turnout among voters with disabilities in the 2018 elections. Authors note an increase in turnout among these voters compared to the 2014 midterms. They found that employed voters with disabilities were just as likely to vote as employed voters without disabilities, suggesting a link between employment and political participation.

This report summarizes the Orange County Registrar of Voters pilot audit of all countywide election contests.

In this paper, authors explore the role of polling place inaccessibility in contributing to the voting gap among people with disabilities. Authors found that, in the 2012 elections, the turnout gap was reduced but not eliminated and that 30% of voters with disabilities experienced difficulties voting. These findings support the claim that difficulties voting depress voter turnout.

This report proposes principles and guidelines for the design and development of remote ballot marking systems based on a review of current literature and existing standards for voting systems and accessibility and input from experts in the field. The principles support the development of systems that are usable, accessible, and secure, addressing the perceived conflict accessibility and strong election integrity.

This paper explores voting-rule design choices that can reduce audit burden and improve auditability, with implications for post-election verification.

This report proposes principles and guidelines for the design and development of remote ballot marking systems, considering them in their entirety. This includes the technical systems that make up a remote ballot marking system, the accessibility features and communications needed to support all voters, and the election administration procedures to deploy a remote ballot marking system.

In this paper, authors introduces ClipAudit, a simplified risk-limiting post-election audit method intended to make statistical audits more understandable and implementable.
