Running a Simple VoteBox election

A "simple" election is one featuring only Supervisor and VoteBox booth machines (encryption is optional as well). Any configuration files without USE_COMMIT_CHALLENGE_MODEL set to true can be used in a SimpleElection (they must, however, be consistent between Supervisor and VoteBoxes). The PreRendered ballot.zip used in this example can be found here; the Ballot Creator .bal file used to generate it is here.

Instructions

• Place supervisor.jar & votebox.jar on seperate machines. Any number of each may be in use, provided there is no more than one per machine and at least one of each on the network.
• Start the supervisor and votebox jars
• Instructions may be found here and here, respectively.
• While the auditorium network is being established and discovery is ongoing, you will see the following screens on supervisors and voteboxes respectively.
• 
• 
• When a Supervisor discovers its first VoteBox the screen changes to one similar to this.
• 
• You then activate a console (which will number all VoteBoxes), select a ballot, and open the polls.
• 
•

• 
• Until closing the polls, authorize VoteBoxes to allow a vote to be cast from it.
