The Election Council is working on Abacus, the tabulation software for the elections. This workshop will show you how it works, in a production style setting involving test data. After all the counting we take a tour through the GitHub repo (https://github.com/kiesraad/abacus), explain the architecture and choices behind the project so far.
Come to this workshop if you are interested in the Dutch Elections and want to understand the actual process, learn about the software development that is being done and ask everything you always wanted to know. Do visit the presentation by Fleur van Leusden, our CISO.

Niels is a freelancer by day, idealist by night. Currently, he works for the Dutch Electoral Council as teamlead of the Abacus development team. He collects hobbies which require a licence or permit and loves to build and tinker with actual things. Ask him anything about desert racing, for instance.
On saturday morning he hosts a workshop on Abacus, the new software for the Dutch Elections. Come and check out this nice open source project! In the afternoon, together with Roman Kniaziev from Kharkiv, he will speak about their project to support Ukraine, which needs all the help it can get.
