Democratic elections should be both free and fair, but also that citizens believe that the elections are free and fair. It is also essential that the institutions in charge of managing elections are trusted in the delivery of these goals.
Regulators struggle to keep up with technological developments, and many are under-resourced and time-poor. The integrity of elections is under attack, so a focus on getting these things right is more important than ever.
The "Delivering Trustworthy Electoral Oversight" project investigates a natural language processing model that can classify and analyse election spending returns in near real time. Without good quality information, concerns about electoral integrity foment so this project aims to address that issue.
