Verifying a TrustableVote Ballot
This guide is for anyone given a ballot’s verification link, such as an auditor reading a change record. You do not need an account.
The link is created when the chair signs the decision. It opens on the workspace that issued it, and nowhere else.
What the page shows
- The decision, Implement or Do not implement, who signed it and when, and whether Foundry verifies it now.
- The result: Yes, No and Not cast, the size of the board, by name anyone the chair marked as not voting and anyone who did not vote, and when voting closed.
- The subject: every field the board voted on, as it was frozen, with its fingerprint.
- Signed votes: every vote that was counted, by the name of the person who signed it, with the reason on a No and when it was signed.
What the check means
| What the page says | What it means |
|---|---|
| Verified | Foundry verifies the decision’s signature, and it has not been revoked |
| Not valid | Foundry does not verify the decision. Do not rely on it |
| Not checked | Foundry could not be reached at that moment. Reload to check again |
The page checks the decision when it is opened, and the check is never more than a minute old, so a decision revoked after it was signed shows as not valid.
