A user-friendly intuitive way for operators to locate the voter, give appropriate instructions, issue the correct ballot paper and mark them off as having voted.
F1 Solutions developed and implemented a highly successful Electronic Legislative Assembly Polling Place System (eLAPPS) for Elections ACT, who used and continue to use the solution to manage polling places in a variety of ways. This solution was used to run the 2012 ACT Elections, and functionally facilitated electorate, candidate, polling place, management, reporting, electronic mark-off, notifications and ballot paper counting and result capabilities.
A user-friendly intuitive way for operators to locate the voter, give appropriate instructions, issue the correct ballot paper and mark them off as having voted.
A scalable system that can cope with an increase in size (number of polling sites) and/or volume (number of voters).
A robust solution that can withstand hardware and/or software failure. The voter facing unit should continue to operate even if any of the links in the system fail.
A fast system that shortens the voter processing time – during the first 4 hours of polling day, it is expected that the majority of people would vote.
An accurate system.
The implementation of an automated election management during the ACT Elections saw a decrease in processing times by 20-30 seconds which reduced long queues in polling precincts. Significantly, it increased operational efficiency by up to 20% together with an increase in polling staff productivity by 40%. Reconciliation processing was down by 25%. Most importantly multiple voting was decreased by 100%.
eLAPPS has brought the digital revolution to polling sites. Everyone is a winner! Shorter queues by electronic voter look-up mean the voters are happier. High productivity and job satisfaction are achieved by the polling site staff, OICs and personnel who manages elections due to efficient workflow. The results are transparent and accessible, providing the media ease in information dissemination. Meanwhile, the quick outcome results will give voters peace of mind. F1 Solutions is committed to providing convenient solutions to the business and compliance needs of all levels of government. Automating the elections in Northern Territory, in addition to the already established process in Australian Capital Territory, are just a few of the planned software projects we will release to improve the experience of the public in dealing with government. eLAPPS has brought the digital revolution to polling sites.

Automating end of day processing for Officers in Charge (OIC) at polling sites, replacing the need for phone calls from the Polling Place to the HQ and decreasing the potential for data entry errors to occur.
Streamlining the ballot-issuing and reconciliation processes resulting in reduced processing time.
Reducing the chance of multiple voting across different polling sites ensuring one vote per person.
