    Smart cards in electronic voting: lessons learned from applications in legally-binding elections and approaches proposed in scientific papers
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Budurushi, Jurlind; Neumann, Stephan; Volkamer, Melanie
    Recently, the interest in electronic voting has increased as more and more states have started to implement such systems. At the same time, classical national ID cards are often being replaced by national electronic ID cards which enable citizens to securely identify and authenticate themselves over the Internet. Despite their popularity, the possibility of using eID cards for e-voting has not been adequately studied. This work surveys e-voting systems in which smart cards were used or were proposed to be used to support the voting process. We consider all types of smart cards, including those only for use in e-voting as well as existing and future national eID cards. In a two-step process, we will analyze the most interesting, real-world applications and proposals from a security, usability, and cost perspective, allowing us to derive our lessons learned. Upon these lessons, we show that the restricted-ID mechanism as implemented in the German eID card serves as an interesting basis for the integration of eID cards in e-voting. We outline that the risk of a “forced-abstention” attack can be mitigated by using the restricted-ID.

    Interpreting babel: classifying electronic voting systems
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Franklin, Joshua; Myers, Jessica
    In an effort to promote a greater understanding of the voting systems that sit in the middle of the election technology spectrum - somewhere between hand-counted paper ballots and Internet voting - this work presents a classification of the electronic voting technologies currently used in the United States. A classification structure is presented, and characteristics of current and future technologies are discussed. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion on practically using the structure and future expansion to include other voting technologies.

    Random block verification: improving the norwegian electoral mix-net
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Demirel, Denise; Jonker, Hugo; Volkamer, Melanie
    The VALG project is introducing e-voting to municipal and county elections to Norway. Part of the e-voting system is a mix-net along the lines of Puiggalí et al. - a mix-net which can be efficiently verified by combining the benefits of optimistic mixing and randomized partial checking. This paper investigates their mix-net and proposes a verification method which improves both efficiency and privacy compared to Puiggalí et al.

    E-voting for swiss abroad: a joint project between the confederation and the cantons
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Driza-Maurer, Ardita; Spycher, Oliver; Taglioni, Geo; Weber, Anina
    The ever-increasing number of expatriates has fed the political debate on the voting rights of Swiss abroad over the last two decades. More than the right to vote itself, the effective exercise of voting rights has become a much-discussed issue. Swiss expatriates are able to vote at the federal level, which means they are invited to vote in popular votes and referendums up to four times a year and in elections every four years. They vote mainly by post and are faced with delays inherent to this method of voting and are sometimes disenfranchised as a result. Internet voting considerably accelerates the return of the ballot. Its introduction has been one of the main demands of Swiss living abroad. In parallel, the federal and cantonal authorities have planned to gradually and pragmatically adapt direct democracy instruments and voting methods to the digital environment in a prudent and long-term process. Internet voting was launched at the beginning of the 21st century and is one of the key projects of the Confederation's e-government strategy. Three Internet voting systems have been developed so far by the cantons of Zurich, Neuchâtel, and Geneva. Internet voting was first offered to Swiss expats in June 2008. For the latest federal elections on February 13, 2011, some 55,000 Swiss abroad had the possibility to vote via Internet; on the federal elections on October 23, 2011, some 22,000 Swiss abroad registered in four cantons took part in the very first Internet voting trial during a federal election. Half of Swiss cantons have now introduced Internet voting, mainly for citizens abroad. While it is too early to draw conclusions on whether Internet voting fosters participation of expatriates in Swiss political life, recent experience clearly shows that Internet voting is well accepted. The success of the Swiss model of the introduction of e- voting can be explained with the following elements: joint strategic planning (the roadmap), a good inter-cantonal cooperation with hosting solutions, and a gradual expansion, which puts security at the center of efforts.

    Mobile voting as an alternative for the disabled voters
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Akilli, H. Serkan
    The aim of this presentation is to highlight the common problems disabled voters have during elections and to emphasize the importance of mobile voting in creating a more inclusive, participatory democracy. Results of a qualitative textual analysis of a web-based forum about the experiences of disabled citizens during the 2009 local government elections are used to identify the legal, physical, and emotional problems associated with participating in elections. In the final section, the results of a questionnaire, which was e-mailed to disabled voters, are presented, and it is argued that establishing a mobile voting system for disabled voters may bypass many of the problems affecting this community and that mobile voting may be more efficient when compared to other solutions. It is often suggested that trust building and extensive public relations activities should be designed to prepare the society for new types of voting, and pilot work is recommended for those who need these innovations the most – disabled voters.

    A fair and robust voting system by broadcast
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Khader, Dalia; Smyth, Ben; Ryan, Peter Y. A.; Hao, Feng
    Hao, Ryan, and Zieliński (2010) propose a two-round decentralized voting protocol that is efficient in terms of rounds, computation, and bandwidth. However, the protocol has two drawbacks. First, if some voters abort then the election result cannot be announced, that is, the protocol is not robust. Secondly, the last voter can learn the election result before voting, that is, the protocol is not fair. Both drawbacks are typical of other decentralized e-voting protocols. This paper proposes a recovery round to enable the election result to be announced if voters abort, and we add a commitment round to ensure fairness. In addition, we provide a computational security proof of ballot secrecy.

    A supervised verifiable voting protocol for the victorian electoral commission
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Burton, Craig; Culane, Chris; Heather, James; Peacock, Thea; Ryan, Peter Y. A.; Schneider, Steve; Srinivasan, Sriramkrishnan; Teague, Vanessa; Wen, Roland; Xia, Zhe
    This paper describes the design of a supervised, verifiable voting protocol suitable for use for elections in the state of Victoria, Australia. We provide a brief overview of the style and nature of the elections held in Victoria and associated challenges. Our protocol, based on Prêt à Voter, presents a new ballot overprinting front-end design, which assists the voter in completing the potentially complex ballot. We also present and analyze a series of modifications to the backend that will enable it to handle the large number of candidates, 35 +, with ranking single transferable vote (STV), which some Victorian elections require. We conclude with a threat analysis of the scheme and a discussion on the impact of the modifications on the integrity and privacy assumptions of Prêt à Voter.

    A new implementation of a dual (paper and cryptographic) voting system
    (5th International Conference on Electronic Voting 2012 (EVOTE2012), 2012) Ben-Nun, Jonathan; Fahri, Niko; Llewellyn, Morgan; Riva, Ben; Rosen, Alon; Ta-Shma, Amnon; Wikström, Douglas
    We report on the design and implementation of a new cryptographic voting system, designed to retain the “look and feel” of standard, paper-based voting used in our country Israel while enhancing security with end-to-end verifiability guaranteed by cryptographic voting. Our system is dual ballot and runs two voting processes in parallel: one is electronic while the other is paper-based and similar to the traditional process used in Israel. Consistency between the two processes is enforced by means of a new, specially-tailored paper ballot format. We examined the practicality and usability of our protocol through implementation and field testing in two elections: the first being a student council election with over 2000 voters, the second a political party's election for choosing their leader. We present our findings, some of which were extracted from a survey we conducted during the first election. Overall, voters trusted the system and found it comfortable to use.
