UrnaLogs: facilitando a análise de logs de urnas eletrônicas para promover transparência no processo eleitoral.

Abstract

The electronic voting process in Brazil, using electronic ballot boxes and biometric recognition, brought facilities and agility to the elections. However, technical problems and lack of transparency have generated distrust and questions about the correct counting of votes. In this context, electronic voting machine logs become a valuable source of data, recording all operations carried out by voters and polling station officials. However, a large portion of the population is unaware of the existence of these logs and how to access them. This work aims to make it more accessible to obtain and analyze the data stored in the ballot box logs, available on the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) website. The tool has 4 modules: the first is responsible for collecting all logs from the election ballot boxes through the use of Web Scraping; the second performs the Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process to make the data structured; the third is responsible for storing the data; and, finally, the fourth provides a dashboard in which it is possible to visualize and filter the data of each section with the support of visual tools that facilitate the interpretation.
