About EIRS
The Election Incident Reporting System (EIRS) is an integrated set of tools to assist Election Protection Organizations and their members in carrying out a number of activities, including:
- Collect background and testing information from state & local election officials
- Compile and track election irregularity data before, during, and after election day
- Organize and manage teams of people and tasks
- Dispatch attorneys and technologists rapidly to resolve election day incidents at voting places
- Provide an on-line collaborative environment for rapid communication among advocates, attorneys, technologists, election officials, media professionals, and others
- Support subsequent research for election policy-making
EIRS builds upon Open Source systems, including AdvoKit, PHPSurveyor, MapServer, and geocoder.us, with initial funding from the Quixote Foundation. Many organizations have been involved in developing this system, including the Verified Voting Foundation, Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, the National Committee for Voting Integrity, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Online Policy Group.
