Starting from 2019, the annual elections of the GI (German Society for Computer Scientists) will be carried out using a new online voting system developed by POLYAS, aiming at providing high, state-of-the-art security guarantees. We describe the steps that POLYAS plans to take together with the GI and academic partners in order to achieve the level of transparency and trust that is expected from modern online voting. The participation of the academic partners is the key factor to make the verification process both practical and meaningful.
