In ancient days voting takes place through the Kudavolai voting system. It works in the way of picking a paper among many rolled paper in a bowl. Then Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) is a simple electronic device used to record votes in place of ballot papers and boxes which were used earlier in conventional voting system. Fundamental right to vote or simply voting in elections forms the basis ...

In the field of electronic democracy, significant part of the research activity focuses on the ability to conduct secure and trustworthy electronic election procedures. This paper presents the extension prototype of an electronic voting system, called IBB/PMA Electronic Voting System that enables cellular phones and mobile devices to act as voting casting devices. The system takes into consider...

Election is a fundamental mechanism of democracy for people to elect a Government of their choice. Electronic voting is an emerging technology that guarantees privacy, security, correctness, verifiability and robustness. Recently, many researchers have proposed the improvements of efficient schemes on the electronic voting to ensure the security and privacy of voters. However, there is no schem...

-In this technological and knowledge age, e-commerce related matters become popular. Electronic voting is one of these matters and it is able to provide convenient, less expensive, fast and secure facilities. Important basic properties of electronic voting are fairness, privacy, eligibility, receiptfreeness, coercion-resistance and verifiability. Current electronic voting systems satisfy only s...

Due to convenience and efficiency, electronic voting (e-voting) techniques gradually replace traditional paper-based voting activities in some developed countries. A secure anonymous e-voting system has to satisfy many properties, such as completeness, tally correctness, and uncoercibility, where the uncoercibility property is the most difficult one to be achieved. Since each voter can obtain a...

This paper discusses how electronic voting was implemented in practice in the Netherlands, which choices were made and how electronic voting was finally abolished. This history is presented in the context of the requirements of the election process, as well as the technical options that are available to increase the reliability and security of electronic voting.

The design of an electronic voting system has been a hot research topic in the area of information security. Based on ID-based ring signature, blind signature, multi-verification technology and existed typical electronic voting models, an improved anonymous electronic voting system is designed. We proved that the new system has good properties of security: anonymity, eligibility, fairness, nonr...

Scientists have requested verifiable electronic voting schemes for many years. These schemes offer individual and universal verifiability by applying and combining complex cryptographic primitives and protocols. Electronic voting systems in use provide less or even no verifiability. Thus election authorities and voters need to trust the provider and developer of the voting system regarding the ...

Currently, rather secure cryptographic voting protocols providing verifiability exist. However, without adequate usability and abstraction concepts to explain the voting process and, in particular, the verifiability steps, they are not ready for legally binding elections. This holds in particular for remote electronic voting systems because of the absence of poll workers who can support voters ...
