Automatic equipment the Security terminal for vote

2019: The presentation of the security terminal for vote

On June 13, 2019 the Avtomatika concern entering into Rostec Group provided the security terminal for vote on modern element base. According to the statement of the developer, the terminal is a basis for a complex of the automation equipment of the digital polling precinct which is also developed by Avtomatika.

The complex conducts the automated counting of votes, fixes results of vote and creates the report with data on vote. The terminal can be used for simultaneous elections of all levels – municipal, regional, federal.

According to Rostec, development will be tested within a pilot project on 30 polling precincts of Moscow in the uniform voting day on September 8.

Automatic equipment claims that its development is distinguished by the high level of protection against external interferences. The solution is completely autonomous and isolated thanks to lack of the operating system and Internet access.

The platform of the terminal is built on programmable 32-bit microcontrollers of STM32F7 series. Their programming is performed at the time of assembly of the device to exclude intervention in a system on the polling precinct.

Among core competencies of Rostec – development with high extent of information protection. The terminal for electronic vote of production of Avtomatika concern – one of such products. This hardware-software solution allows not only to automate process of counting of votes, but also to avoid the risks connected with use of public operating systems. We are ready to provide to the customer – in this case Central Election Commission – technical maintenance at all operational phases of the equipment, including warranty and service support and personnel training, noted Oleg Yevtushenko, the chief executive of Rostec

In total about 16 terminals can be integrated into a complex. Capacity of each device – up to 500 voters in 12 hours. The network controller with an external thermal printer which anonymously registers each voice also is a part of the equipment of the digital polling precinct.
