Preserving Vote Secrecy in End-to-End Verifiable Voting Systems
Wagner M. Santos, Ruy J. G. B. de Queiroz · 2011
End-to-end verifiable voting systems allow voters to audit if their votes are cast as intended, collected as listed and recorded as collected, in other words, provide a counting that can be conferred by civil society. Essentially, end-to-end voting systems provide assurance to voters that each stage of the election was fine. At the same time, voting systems must protect the privacy of the voter and to avoid the possibility of influence and undue coercion of voters. Several voting systems have been proposed, ranging in usability and practicality. Here the intention is to perform an assessment of existing systems in order to identify its weak points, capitalize on its strengths and propose new models of implementation for existing electronic voting systems.
