Counting votes in the UK general election

This blog post is just to try and communicate something that won’t fit into 140 characters on twitter. It is a simplified version of events and some things have been left out.

1. Voting
• The electorate vote by hand onto paper ballots
• electronic and mechanical voting and counting is not in use at general elections and has been widely unpopular when trailed or used in other elections. Electronic voting in particular has been shown to be unsafe.
• Currently in our elections are first past the post and we make a mark (usually an X) in box for the candidate we wish to elect.
2. Verification
• Filled in ballots are counted and this count compared with the number of votes recorded as cast by the polling station.
• This number is subtracted from the number of issued ballots and the unused papers checked and accounted for.
• This count happens face up so that counting agents for all candidates can scrutinise the process and get a first set of electoral data.
3. Sorting
• Ballots are sorted into piles for each candidate.
• A further pile of ballots that require adjudication because they are unclear, identify the voter, or potentially spoilt is made.
• This process is again carried out face up to be scrutinised and for counting agents to get their second slice of electoral data.
4. Counting
• Piles are counted and sorted into bundles.
• Bundles are counted.
• Each of these processes is subject to scrutineering and checking.
5. Adjudication and Reconciliation
• The papers put aside in step three are adjudicated by the Returning Officer and he then informs the candidates/agents in sight of observers of rejections. His decisions can be objected to but not over-ruled. Accepted papers added to count.
• The total numbers of papers for each candidate and the rejections are added up to ensure they equal the number from step 2.
• Totalling is not restricted to those with physical access to the ballots as it can be seen, in fact bundle recounts can be done aloud.
6. Result or recount
• The result is made know to the candidates/agents at this point in the case of a close election they can ask for a recount.
• Once the Returning Officer is happy that the result stands it is announced.
7. If we used AV/STP
• In the case of a future move to a redistributive preferential voting system after the first round of voting the second round could just start again from step three with re-allocation of surplus or next preference votes (depending on the voting system) done physically and using a method such as Hare. This means the process is transparent and obvious to counting agents and other observers.

How can this process be adapted for range voting while retaining the key points of paper ballots filled with a pencil, manual transparent counting of votes, no calculations beyond how many papers in a pile and how many piles do we have?
