The Election Process: Fast, Accurate, or Cheap — Pick Two – IISE Problem

With the upcoming 2024 elections ending on November 5th, how are election officials managing the ballot traffic and executing a free and fair election process?

In this IISE podcast, they talked to Gretchen Macht, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical, Industrial & Systems Engineering at The University of Rhode Island.

She is also the Director of the Engineering for Democracy Institute, previously known as URI VOTES. She discusses how her team engages with county election officials from different parts of the U.S. (a few “battleground states”), the lessons learned from 2020, how their team is being used to help improve voting efficiency now, and what you should know about the process in real time.
