This timely workshop addresses improving election administration, a critical component of democracy.The objective of this workshop series is to help understand and build confidence in the outcomes of US elections, using the many years of scholarly study in this area as the background. The workshop series will build upon prior work and extant knowledge to further explore the topic in the context of the Convergence Accelerator. The workshop discussions will be centered around the theme of “building confidence”, where “confidence” is defined as (1) scientific or empirical certainty that the elections were performed accurately and securely and (2) that winners identified, in fact, received more votes than the losers, and that the election was conducted fairly.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个及时的研讨会解决了改善选举管理，这是民主的关键组成部分。该研讨会系列的目的是帮助理解和建立对美国选举结果的信心，利用该领域的多年学术研究作为背景。研讨会系列将基于先前的工作和广泛的知识，以进一步探索融合加速器的背景。研讨会的讨论将集中在“建立”信心的主题上，“自信”被定义为（1）科学或经验确定性，即选举的准确，安全地牢固地进行，并且（2）赢家实际上获得了比失败者的票数更多的票数，并且通过授权的启发，并反映了nsf的启发。和更广泛的影响审查标准。
