Application Development

Working with the New South Wales Electoral Commission (NSWEC) since 2005, eGloo develops, tests and implements the Virtual Tally Room (VTR).

The VTR is used by the voting public to monitor up-to-date election results during the State Government Elections (SGEs) and Local Government Elections (LGEs). Contracts are in place for upcoming elections.

eGloo is responsible for developing and maintaining the XML content layer that is extracted from databases to assist VTR page functionality and the ability to display real time election results. The XML content is also distributed to other external agencies like the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) who use it to assist with their election night public facing initiatives.

We have successfully delivered several projects for the NSWEC with deadlines that do not move. Our involvement since 2005 has given us a thorough understanding of the electoral process at a State Government level.

Other NSWEC projects include:

• Ballot Paper Generation System: Prepares print ready PDF files for 188 ballot papers to 94 New South Wales State Districts
• Closed Role Elector Verification Facility: Enables voters to check and verify their enrolment when electoral rolls for events are closed
