The Impact

The use of computers in the electoral process—to count punch-card ballots, or to maintain a register of voters—has been in place in many countries for some time. We now see many countries move to more thoroughly integrate computers into the voting experience, by introducing what are commonly known as “electronic voting” systems. The use of such systems in public elections combined with the role of voting in creating and maintaining democratic institutions requires that we pay attention to the impact that changes to the electoral process have on the construction of the public nature of elections.

The World

The present document analyzes the weaknesses of the protocols regarding internet voting systems, either centralized or decentralized one, as a technology used for many countries around the world that may significantly increase the numbers of electors, offers transparency, delivery of results and reduces the costs of the whole electoral process, allowing an auditable way either for the citizen and public entities. The use of Remote Electronic Voting Systems (REV), had been opening a new way for e-government services, giving the community other tools for electoral purposes, and at the same time had create a long list of securities challenges which have allowed the development of new I-voting systems, among communities that focus on the research of different ways to minimize the risks of this process.

The article analyzes the features and problems of using the institution of remote voting in the electoral process in general and the problem of invalidation of elections associated with the use of this institution, in particular. The article reveals the features of the implementation of the remote electronic voting procedure in practice, and also reveals such problems associated with the use of software as the presence of gaps in modern legislation in terms of regulating the invalidity of the described elections, uncertainty in matters of violations in this area of electoral law. The article concludes about the shortcomings of the existing legal regulation and identifies possible solutions to the identified problems.

Democratic Country

Voting is important for any democratic country. It can be considered as one of the major factors that make a government for the people and by the people. The most common methods of voting that currently exist are ballot-based voting, purely electronic methods, and Electronic Voting Machines, among others. Over the years, it has been a challenge to build a secure E-voting program that provides the privacy of current voting systems while offering a means of accountability and versatility. Using blockchain technology and cryptography we can make the process of elections as open and cost-effective as possible. In this review paper we discuss a new, blockchain-based electronic voting system that addresses some of the limitations in existing systems and evaluates some of the popular systems designed to create a blockchain-based e-voting system.

AbstractScholars concur that free and fair elections are essential for proper democratic functioning, but our understanding of the political effects of democratic voting systems is incomplete. This article mitigates the gap by exploiting the gradual transformation of voting systems and ballot structures in Brazil’s 1998 executive elections to study the relationship between voting systems and viable and nonviable candidates’ vote shares, using regression discontinuity design. It finds that the introduction of electronic voting concentrated vote shares among viable candidates and thus exhibited electoral bias. We posit that this result occurred because viable candidates were better able to communicate the information that electronic voters needed to cast valid ballots than were their nonviable counterparts. The article uses survey data to demonstrate that electronic voters responded to changes in ballot design and internalized the information viable candidates made available to them.

Verification Techniques

A large amount of research has been conducted to improve public verifiability of e-voting systems. One of the challenges is ensuring that different and apparently contradicting requirements are met: anonymity and representation, vote secrecy and verifiability. System robustness from attacks adds further complexity. This chapter summarizes some of the known vote verification techniques and highlights the pros and cons of each technique. Also, it reviews how different verification technologies cover different phases of the voting process and evaluates how these techniques satisfy the e-voting requirements.
