Voting Village
The Voting Village is an interactive educational environment that provides the public with the unique opportunity to have hands-on experience with our current election infrastructure. Attendees will be able to interact with multiple different types of voting systems, all of which are currently in use across the country today. Hackers will have the opportunity to test how secure these voting systems truly are, and will report to the Voting Village Lead's any vulnerabilities they find. The Voting Village explores all aspects of election security and works to promote a more secure democracy.
Attendees of Voting Village will also have access to Harri Hursti, the world's premier hacker and leading election and cyber security expert who has successfully hacked voting machines on multiple occasions. Aside from Harri, attendees will have access to other experts as well as the option of joining us for our speaker track (TALKS) that will take place every day except for the last Sunday of DEF CON. Our speaker track represents the most relevant government agencies and the top media outlets. Additionally, there will be multiple showings of Harri's HBO documentary, Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America's Elections. We will also have two Capture The Flags (CONTESTS) taking place throughout DEF CON.
Due to it being a presidential election year, the focus on elections is going to be extremely heightened. Having an open research environment like the Voting Village helps offset the misinformation and disinformation that is rampant leading up to a presidential election. The Voting Village not only addresses election infrastructure related issues but also focuses on information integrity as a critical element of our election system. Our talks given by the most reputable subject matter experts cover all of these election related topics.
