 A verifier app verifies an election is true and accurate by using the publicly published information about a completed election. At the close of an election using ElectionGuard, an election record should be created and made public. ElectionGuard encourages third parties to create their own verifiers and help verify election records. A basic example of a verifier can be found within the [electionguard-python repository][verifier], but  verifiers should aim to be as thorough as possible. After consuming the files in an election record, verifiers can validate everything from the key ceremony to the decryption since the election is end to end verifiable.

 # ElectionGuard in the November 2023 College Park General Election
 
-This November will see College Park use the Hart VerityScan scanner with ElectionGuard in a similar configuration to what was used in the [Preston Idaho election in 2022](Preston_Idaho_2022.md). This year, voters will fill out ballots either by hand or using Hart's [Verity TouchWriter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GA0kzJrM-s). The official tally will be conducted with the Hart system, which will include mail-in ballots scanned with the VerityScan scanner but, because the voters were not present to collect the confirmation code receipt, will not be able to verify that their ballots were included.

 ## New Capabilities
 
-While the core Hart system and voting process will be identical to [the system used in Preston, Idaho](/docs/elections/Preston_Idaho_2022.md) the ElectionGuard software will be *almost* (see below) a full [implementation of the 2.0 specification](/docs/spec/index.md). It incorporates most of the new encryption structures, including a new implementation of guardian architecture and elimination of placeholder votes.  A fully new version of the admin and guardian software used to run the key and tally ceremonies has also been developed.

It incorporates most of the new encryption structures, including a new implementation of guardian architecture and elimination of placeholder votes.  A fully new version of the admin and guardian software used to run the key and tally ceremonies has also been developed.
 
 The biggest new capability is a full implementation of thresholding. Thresholding enables a quorum of guardians to participate in a tally ceremony rather than requiring all guardians to be present. (College Park will be using 5 guardians with a quorum of 3 to be present to run the tally ceremony.) Each guardian and the ElectionGuard administrator will be assigned their own Surface Go tablet to run the ceremonies and will use Windows Hello to authenticate on their assigned device.

 Finally, when the verifier was run initially immediately after the tally ceremony on November 5, a data error was discovered around the extended base hash, causing the MITRE 1.I verification (1.H in the 2.0 Specification) to fail. The error was due to an already-addressed issue regarding equation formulation, yet the desired approach was implemented differently in the verifier versus the production code. Since the core ElectionGuard code could not be updated (due to the code freeze cited above), the verifier was modified to interpret the extended base hash correctly and the election was fully verified according to the precepts agreed to above.
