A monotonicity paradox occurs when a voting system reacts in a perverse way to a change in individual opinions. The vulnerability of a voting system to monotonicity paradoxes is defined as the proportion of voting situations that can give rise to such paradoxes. In this paper we provide analytical representations of this vulnerability in the three-alternative case for two voting systems, i.e. p...

Voting is regarded as one of the most effective methods for individuals to express their opinions on a given topic. Electronic voting (e-Voting) refers to the use of computers or computerised voting equipments to cast ballots in an election. e-Voting performed over Internet can be universally accepted in the upcoming years due to the fact that Internet plays a key role in people’s lives. The Dy...

Covid-19 pandemic has stressed more than any-time before the necessity for conducting election processes in an electronic manner, where voters can cast their votes remotely with complete security, privacy, and trust. The different voting schema countries makes it very difficult to utilize a one fits all system. This paper presents blockchain based system (BBVS) applied Parliamentary elections c...

- In developing countries, democracy plays a crucial role, but conventional voting systems often pose challenges due to resource and manpower consumption, potential illegal activities, lack of transparency. To address these issues, new confidential E-Voting system is proposed, incorporating facial recognition technology for secure efficient voting. This aims provide an inclusive accessible solu...

There has recently been keen interest in the threat analysis of voting systems. While it is important to verify the system itself, it has been found that certain vulnerabilities only become apparent when taking a “system-based” view, i.e. considering interactions between the various components of a scheme. Threat analysis has so far been of three main forms: system-based, protocol-level and tax...

We study the parameterized control complexity of Bucklin voting and of fallback voting, a voting system that combines Bucklin voting with approval voting. Electoral control is one of many different ways for an external agent to tamper with the outcome of an election. We show that even though the representation of the votes and the winner determination is different, the parameterized complexity ...

Electronic voting, or e-voting, is a relatively closed process that contains inherent risks associated with the potential for voting irregularities, translation errors, and inappropriate manipulation (Oravec, 2005). To develop a greater understanding of trust issues surrounding the use of e-voting, an investigation into the public trust and the relationship between trust and electronic voting t...
