    Online voting project – New developments in the voting system and consequently implemented improvement in the representation of legal principles
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Diehl, Klaus; Weddeling, Sonja
    For several years, T-Systems Enterprise Services GmbH has been researching the creation of a highly secure voting system that meets the latest cryptological standards. With exclusive responsibility for the W.I.E.N (Wählen in elektronischen Netzwerken, Voting in electronic networks) research project supported by the government since 2005, T-Systems are studying the implementation of online voting in non-parliamentary elections. The voting system previously designed in this project was subjected to a thorough review by a renowned cryptologist from a German university in the summer of 2005. Some encryption processes were then modified, resulting in a highly secure voting protocol with the provisional working title of t-voting, which is simpler and quicker to implement. By adding important new steps within the core architecture, the strenuously disputed claims to the publicness of voting and its transparency are demonstrated. A public notice displayed on the bulletin board gives voters an overview of votes cast. Considering that online voting is seen as an alternative to postal voting, this actually increases the element of being "public". The principle of universality is augmented in online voting as the access options are simplified, which means that more voters can participate in the election.

    A generic re-engineering methodology for the organized redesign of the electoral process to an e-electoral process
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Xenakis, Alexandros; Macintosh, Ann
    In this paper we suggest a generic re-engineering methodology for the organized redesign of the electoral process to an e-electoral process. Based on the hypothesis that the electoral process has been through a "silent" re-engineering phase, we present the process re-engineering concepts which can be used to depict the redesign of the electoral process to an e-electoral process through the use of ICTs. Following we provide a five stage outline of the suggested re-engineering methodology. Finally we discuss the benefits of its implementation and suggest areas for its prospective application.

    Multiple casts in online voting: Analyzing chances
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Volkamer, Melanie; Grimm, Rüdiger
    We analyze multiple casts as an easy and non-technical approach to overcome some of the open questions and risks of online voting. The mechanism of multiple casts can be added to almost all existing online voting systems. Nevertheless, there are also some disadvantages, for instance the validity of a timestamp, which are discussed in the paper as well.

    Transition to electronic voting and citizen participation
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Caporusso, Letizia; Buzzi, Carlo; Fele, Giolo; Peri, Pierangelo; Sartori, Francesca
    This paper draws attention to the need of a systematic socio-technical approach to introducing electronic voting and presents early results from a pilot project conducted by the Provincia Autonoma di Trento, Italy. Main features of this experience are the constant monitoring of the social impact and the development of a technological solution in accordance to the suggestions provided by the users themselves. We recommend that no sudden switch to a new form of ballot should be imposed on electors but rather that research is to be fostered in order to uncover and preserve the traditional and symbolic connotations embedded in the act of voting.

    Coercion-resistant electronic elections with observer
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Schweisgut, Jörn
    We introduce an electronic election scheme, that is coercion-resistant, a notion introduced by Juels et al. in [JCJ05]. In our scheme we encrypt the credentials that serve as an authorisation to vote during registration. By using a MIX-cascade we can omit one time-consuming plaintext equivalence test in the tallying. In addition, the observer facilitates registration and voting for the benefit of the voter. Pseudonymisation of the ciphertexts during the voting period implies a permanent secrecy of the submitted votes.

    E-voting in Estonia 2005. The first practice of country-wide binding Internet voting in the world
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Madise, Ülle; Martens, Tarvi
    At Estonian local elections in October 2005 for the first time in the world binding country-wide remote Internet voting took place: whole Estonian electorate had a possibility to cast the vote via Internet. Approximately 2 % of actual voters made use of this possibility. The e-voting surveys show that the attitude of the Estonian public toward e-voting was and is positive; gender, income, education, type of settlement and even age are no important factors by choosing e-voting from all voting channels; the use of e-voting possibility depends mostly on the trust in the procedure of e-voting and E-voting in itself does not produce any political effects. Estonian e-voting experience in 2005 reassures the hypothesis that e-voting does not raise the voting activity of people who never take part in elections, but it can encourage the participation of voters who vote sometimes. Thus, e-voting could slow down the trend of falling participation. Despite successful e-voting experience in October 2005, the political debate around e-voting has started in Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament) again. If the e- voting provisions will not be excluded from the law, the next country-wide e- voting in Estonia is taking place February-March 2007 by next Riigikogu elections.

    The electoral legislation of the basque autonomous community regarding electronic vote
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Fernández, Rosa Ma.; González, Esther; José Manuel, Vera
    The Basque Autonomous Community constitutes the only Spanish experience of legal electronic vote regulation. The Basque Government decided, by means of a government bill that was voted in its legislative Chamber on June of 1998, to reform its electoral law and insert, as possible option, an electronic vote by means of a magnetic strip card. This Law, which has not been applied yet, presents a series of important changes and of potential modifications in the Basque electoral system and, perhaps, in the Spanish system. At the same time, in the year 2004, a new government Bill of the Basque autonomous Community is presented in which an electronic vote legal regulation is once again presented. The news regarding the previous project are important. Its processing is interrupted by the dissolution of the Chamber and the new Government formation that, still today, has not retaken up this initiative. The electronic vote in “Euskadi” is a regulated normative topic but that has not yet been utilized in an electoral procedure with binding character.

    A preliminary question: Is e-voting actually useful for our democratic institutions? What do we need Itô for?
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Barrat Esteve, Jordi
    The current development of e-voting systems worldwide raises several specific interesting issues from a legal point of view. Auditability measures, identification procedures or guarantees for voting secrecy and equality are good examples, but we often forget a fundamental question: the usefulness of these new technologies. This paper intends to provide an answer that takes into account the complexity of all democratic systems. An updated image of the electoral procedures, the advantages for disabled people, the reduction of economic charges in the electoral fields or the increase of voting turnout will be analysed as the possible positive consequences of e-voting systems.

    Election Workflow Automation - Canadian Experiences
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Obradovic, Goran; Hoover, James; Ikonomakism, Nick; Poulos, John
    Democratic parliamentary and presidential voting supported by election systems worldwide represents the essential idea behind any free society. In recent years, numerous challenges have been overcome to satisfy this fundamental principle. On one side we have low voter turnout and high electors migration, on the other, sometimes complex electoral systems such as preferential or transferable ballot voting. In addition, proliferation of modern computerized technologies is giving hope that with new automated processes and voting channels, the election process and democracy as a whole can be more accessible, secure and transparent. In this paper we are presenting the Democracy Suite as the field-proven solutions for full election automation workflow.
