Y a-t-il de l'ergonomie dans les ordinateurs de vote français?: evaluation ergonomique des ordinateurs de vote français

Abstract

There is, in many countries, the lack of usability of voting machines, can prevent vulnerable people to vote, especially the senior citizens. This awareness is not present in France where these voters have been totally neglected. To demonstrate that problem, we describe the problems of usability of three different voting systems used in France. We compared the interface of one of these voting computers with an interface that we have created with some usability guidelines. This comparison was made with users tests carried out on 16 elderly users. The results demonstrate the exclusion of the majority of these voters.
