This year, the organizers of the USENIX/ACCURATE Electronic Voting
Technology Workshop (EVT) have merged EVT with the IAVoSS Workshop on
Trustworthy Elections (WOTE) to create a joint two-day workshop
(EVT/WOTE '09).

EVT/WOTE '09 seeks to bring together researchers from a variety of
disciplines, ranging from computer science and human-computer
interaction experts through political scientists, legal experts,
election administrators, and voting equipment vendors.

The program includes a keynote address by Lawrence Norden, Brennan
Center for Justice at NYU School of Law; system demonstrations; and
sessions on usability, security, trustworthy elections, and more.

Have a voting system you'd like to demonstrate? The EVT/WOTE '09 program
committee is seeking proposals for a system demonstration session. Find
