Day 2 of the Cyber and Information Resilience Elections Network (CIREN) meeting in Prague concluded, leaving us with valuable insights from each other's experiences in responding to cyber threats during elections across various countries. Igor Tkachenko from IFES Ukraine shared examples of proper information assessments, with reflections from Ingrid Bicu on the Romanian case and Andrii Bohdanenko Osavul on the role of AI-powered technology. Ryan M. advised on the way of proving the trustworthiness of election processes to ensure integrity and transparency. David Ghonghadze from The International Foundation for Electoral Systems presented best practices from the 2024 Georgian election, while Typhaine Roblot highlighted effective post-election judicial practices related to election technology. By leveraging the CIREN network we can all contribute to the future of the proper processing of election results and their transparency in order to gain the public's trust.
