Scytl Innovation and Technology Key to the Success of the Open Primary for the French Right and Center
Paris & Barcelona (PRWEB UK) 12 December 2016 -- Scytl online voting and results management technology helps The Primary High Authority to ensure an efficient, highly participative and transparent election in the November Open Primary for the French Right and Center, once again demonstrating how innovative and proven technology can be successfully leveraged to support elections of strategic importance in France.
The 2 rounds of the Open Primary Election held on November 20th and November 27th resulted in the election of the French Right and Center candidate for the upcoming Presidential Election in 2017. Voting was open to all French citizens, not only right and center party members, and allowed French citizens overseas to actively participate via the online voting channel and the public in general to access the primary results in near-real time.
As part of the end-to-end solution coordinated by Berger-Levrault, Scytl provided the technology that enabled over 100,000 votes to be securely cast online as well as the consolidation of over 8.6M votes from over 10,000 polling stations and the efficient, timely and transparent publication of over 90% of the undisputed results in just over 2 hours after the closing of the polling stations.
“We are extremely proud not only to have provided – once again - the most advanced and secure technology that has enabled French citizens abroad to register and vote online and provide them with a more effective voting experience, but also the technology and expertise that has allowed for the efficient, transparent and timely consolidation and publication of the Open Primary for the French Right and Center results,” concludes Jean Souto, Executive Vice President at Scytl.
