In October 2020, Free & Fair wrote a proposal for Tusk Philanthropies for their Mobile Voting Project RFP.

Our proposal is called Revitalizing Elections with Verifiable Internet Voting for the United States, or REVIVUS for short.

Colorado has chosen Free & Fair to build a risk-limiting audit (RLA) system to be used statewide beginning with the November 2017 general election.

We have replied to number of RFPs and RFIs in recent months, including Geneva, Switzerland's E2E Internet Voting System RFP, Canada's Voting Services Modernization/Polling Place Process Enhancement RFI, Los Angeles County's Voting System Assessment Project (VSAP) RFI, and Colorado's Risk Limiting Audit DQ.

Design Automation Engineer Leior Varon has been poking around at Free & Fair recently and has offered to reflect on what he’s been learning. Varon has a background in electrical engineering, but became interested in F&F’s use of formal methods in software system design. So, in order to get his feet wet in this world, Varon spent 6 weeks creating and implementing the formal specifications for Qubie, our Poll Queue Monitor. Here are his reflections.

Free & Fair is committed to releasing all our products, research, development, and proposals under open source licenses. Our primary focus is creating open source, high assurance election systems that are great for our customers. Our secondary focus is helping others create high assurance election systems using the concepts, tools, and techniques within our research field.

As such, today, on Wednesday, 17 May 2017, we are opening to the public more than 30 repositories in our Free & Fair GitHub Organization. These repositories contain the product demonstrators, security audits, proposals, tools, and technologies that we use to create high assurance election systems, some of which have been under development since the late 1990s.
