A single system counts the votes

The SOAAR company, which contributed to the counting of votes for the Saeima, as well as other elections and referendums, has not acquired celebrity status. This company has created a specific direction – the so-called technical vision: the characteristics of human vision are transformed into algorithms, with the help of which various processes are automated, including counting electoral votes. But it wasn’t this new system that brought the company fame.

Renārs Kažulis, co-owner of the programming company SOAAR, in a conversation with “Neatsarigo” said: “2010. I learned that the Central Election Commission (CVK) is looking for a solution to optimize vote counting at polling stations. It was about a complex manual process consisting of more than ten steps that took 20-22 hours of work in all stations cost around 35,000 lats in total , i.e. around one million euros. CVK wanted to optimize this process, make it more transparent and economical.

We came to CVK with a prototype solution. We distributed the ballots to those present, everyone voted, we put the stack of ballots in the scanner, we pressed the button and before everyone’s eyes the votes were counted, including all the pluses and minuses. As soon as everything is counted, the election protocols will automatically go to Riga, CVK. CVK liked it: it’s exactly what we were looking for, they said. Such a system significantly reduced costs.

The system we created was used for the first time in 2011, when Zatler initiated a referendum, after which emergency elections would be held. Elections are usually prepared in 18 months, then they should have been prepared within two months. Counting referendum votes costs around 80,000 euros, counting electoral votes around 60,000 euros. Not a million. The next referendum took place in 2012: on the language. The cost is approximately 28,000 euros. We have also “counted” all future elections.”

“Suddenly Artis Kampars calls me…”

In the 2011 special parliamentary elections, “Vienotība” won 20 mandates and was the third largest faction in the Saeima. Two months later the “Unity” congress was held, where the party leader and leading bodies were re-elected. The “Balsis” system, provided by the SOAAR company, was used for counting votes in both the Saeima extraordinary elections and the “Vienotības” congress.

“Vienotība” used the services of this company to hold internal elections for eight years. It cost more than 20 thousand in total.
