OSET Institute, Inc. is a Palo Alto, California-based nonprofit dedicated to election technology research and development that underpins democratic processes. It operates as a nonpartisan public-benefit organization guided by social entrepreneurs, pursuing ongoing technology R&D to enable election administration across jurisdictions. The organization leads the TrustTheVote Project, a democracy software initiative that includes voter services technology and a platform for election systems. Its stated objective is to produce a public election technology framework that is verifiable, accurate, secure, and transparent, and to make it freely available for vendors to integrate with off-the-shelf hardware while allowing local adaptations as finished voting systems. The effort is intended to lower costs, enhance usability, and stimulate a sustainable commercial ecosystem around critical election technology infrastructure. A notable recent development is the appointment of William P. Crowell, a venture capitalist and former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency, to the organization's board in October 2021.
