Research on a New E-voting Method based on the Cellular Phone
Yun-he Li, Wu Shanyu · 2008
E-voting based on the Internet has been recently performed in a wide region. There isn't any spatial restriction that a voter has to go to a certain polling place, but an e-voting using the Internet has to gather the computer in which the internet connection is possible. This voting method requires an access account for the e-voting through the beforehand report of a voter. To minimize these disadvantages, a method was proposed in this paper, in which a voter, who has the wireless certificate issued in advance, uses his own cellular phone for the e-voting. The approach allows a voter to cast his vote in a simple and convenient way no matter the time and location, thus increasing the rate of voting, and ensuring confidentiality and anonymity as well.
