During
the conference two elections conducted
by the Electoral Institute of
Southern Africa(EISA) took place.
One of them, the National Executive Committee Election, consisted
of circa 3000
ballot
papers
containing
60 possible votes and should be counted with handscanners and
a MsAccess application from 1994. The decision was unchangeable
when
I was
asked to join
the project. Originally developed on MsAccess 2.0
the application needed modifications to run smoothly and reliable,
what I did within the 2 weeks left to the conference.
On site in Stellenbosch
I had to coordinate the setup of 16 w2kboxes, an ip network, the
software packages and handscanners, to train the counters and
overview the process of vote counting. |
