The voting records, issued by the voting machines deployed by the National Electoral Council (CNE) for the presidential elections held on July 28, contain a QR code that allows verification of both the authenticity of these receipts and the information they provide.
The Comando Con Venezuela has presented the minutes collected by its table witnesses through the website https://resultadosconvzla.com/ and can be consulted by voters using their ID number. The opposition campaign command clarified that the fact that a person’s ID appears in this database is because they are registered in the Electoral Registry, not because their document was used to vote.
Once you have access to the voting record, you can use a QR reader to scan the code that appears on the back of the receipt issued by the voting machine.
When the QR code is scanned with a mobile or computer application, it is directed to a page that displays a sequence of 38 numbers separated by special characters (periods, commas and exclamation marks). The first nine numbers refer to the state of the country and the electoral centre of said voting record. Next, there are the numbers that refer to the voting table itself, which can be 01, 02, 03 or 04 depending on the number of tables that the voting centre has.
After 16 digits and after an exclamation mark (!) you can read the votes obtained by Nicolás Maduro, who appeared 13 times on the electoral ballot because that was the number of parties that nominated him.
Edmundo González’s votes can be verified from digit number 31 of the 38 that contain the sequence of numbers issued by the counting report when it is scanned through its QR code. Because the opposition candidate was registered by three parties (MUD, MPV and UNT), his votes can be verified in three boxes of the numerical sequence.
In order to confirm the voting center code that appears in the first 9 digits of the sequence of 38 numbers, you must check the top of the counting report. The same 9-digit code that identifies both the state and the voting center from which the counting report emanates must appear there.
Other ways to verify the authenticity of the voting records
In the event that the government of Nicolás Maduro presents the minutes, the Electoral Table Manual indicates the Steps to follow to validate their authenticity:
-The authenticity of the hash (alphanumeric code located at the top), and the digital signature of the minutes, which is the combination of numbers below the counting minutes, must be audited.
-Check for numerical inconsistencies in the count of participants in the minutes by comparing them with the data in the voting books. This is then compared with the scrutiny minutes and then compared with the initiation minutes. The process is repeated with the citizen verification minutes. Everything must match.
– Confirm inconsistencies in the QR and compare information printed in the minutes (the numbers and letters in the minutes must prevail). Check the hash and digital signatures in minutes with problems in the QR (especially due to poor print quality of the minutes).
-The citizen verification records must be compared with the vote counting records. All data must match. In the event of discrepancies, the voting vouchers must be audited against the closing records and the citizen verification records.
-Verify the identity of the members of the table who sign each record. These records are signed on the machine screen.
-Check the identity of the witnesses who signed the citizen verification report. Check whether these witnesses kept a photographic image of the report.
