- KonferenzbeitragMaintaining democratic values in e-voting with eVACS®(Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Boughton, CarolThe principles of equality, secrecy, security and transparency apply to any democratic election system irrespective of whether paper ballots, mechanical or electronic means are used to conduct the election. All these principles were mandated as requirements, designed into, and successfully operated as features of, eVACS®, the electronic voting and counting system used since 2001 by the Australian Capital Territory Electoral Commission. How eVACS® achieves these requirements is described in this paper, with particular emphasis being given to security and transparency and the approaches adopted to ensure verifiability via electronic audit trails.
- KonferenzbeitragHow to create trust in electronic voting over an untrusted platform(Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Skagestein, Gerhard; Haug, Are Vegard; Nødtvedt, Einar; Rossebø, JudithCasting electronic votes via an inherently unreliable channel like the Internet in an uncontrolled environment is controversial for two main reasons: The first one is of democratic nature and the second of technical nature. The democratic concerns are about the possible dangers of buying and selling votes and so called 'family voting'. The technical concerns are how to convince everybody involved that the votes will be anonymously and accurately recorded and counted, and that no votes will get changed or lost, and that no 'fake votes' will be introduced, with the knowledge that any computerized system may contain bugs or may be hacked by evildoers. In this paper, we will show how the principle of repeated vote casting may be used to alleviate both the democratic and the technical concerns above, and how hybrid cryptography makes it possible for the voter to inspect his votes as stored within the voting system.
- KonferenzbeitragSecurity requirements for non-political Internet voting(Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Grimm, Rüdiger; Krimmer, Robert; Meißner, Nils; Reinhard, Kai; Volkamer, Melanie; Weinand, MarcelThis paper describes the development of security requirements for nonpolitical Internet voting. The practical background is our experience with the Internet voting within the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI - Informatics Society) 2004 and 2005. The theoretical background is the international state-of-the-art of requirements about electronic voting, especially in Europe and in the US. A focus of this paper is on the user community driven standardization of security requirements by means of a Protection Profile of the international Common Criteria standard. An extended version of this article (20 pages) is published as technical report by the University in Koblenz (see reference list).
- KonferenzbeitragE-voting in Slovenia: The view of parliamentary deputies(Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Jukić, Tina; Vintar, MirkoThe paper presents the results of the research, focused on Slovenian parliamentary deputies' position on e-democracy with the stress on remote e- voting. It examines the difference in the position on e-democracy and e-voting of deputies aligned with the political right and left respectively. Furthermore, it considers deputies' attitude to the initiatives mediated via e-mail and assesses the risks and impact that the deputies see in e-voting. They were asked to what level they supported the implementation of e-voting and when, in their opinion, Slovenia would start e-voting tests. Finally the authors indicate the most interesting findings of the survey.
- KonferenzbeitragA methodology for auditing e-voting processes and systems used at the elections for the portuguese parliament(Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Falcão e Cunha, João; Leitão, Mário Jorge; Faria, João Pascoal; Pimenta Monteiro, Miguel; Carravilla, Maria AntóniaIn the 2005 Portuguese Parliament General Elections there were non-valid experiments of e-voting at five voting places and also through the Internet. Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto audited such experiments. Relevant security, transparency, usability and accessibility evaluation criteria and sub-criteria were defined, and an auditing procedure based on AHP was established. This paper shortly presents the methodology used, the four e-voting systems and the main results of the overall experiment. The systems could be used successfully and were extremely popular with voters. However, more information to the citizens and to the officials involved in the e-voting process would be required for a valid election. The systems also need to be improved, for instance, to make sure that the number of votes electronically cast is the same as the number of voters that were validated and actually registered to vote at any particular site on the Election Day.
- KonferenzbeitragSwiss E-voting pilot projects: Evaluation, situation analysis and how to proceed(Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Braun, Nadja; Brändli, DanielIn Switzerland the Federal Chancellery in cooperation with three cantons has carried out since 2003 a number of pilot trials with the aim of evaluating the feasibility of remote e-voting. Based on a legal basis respecting the council of europe's recommendations five pilot trials have been authorized at national referendums in 2004 and 2005. The pilot trials were evaluated for a number of different aspects, including the potential of e-voting to increase voter turnout, the security risks and its cost-effectiveness. The evaluation has shown that e-voting is feasible in Switzerland. The decision on how to proceed now rests with the Federal Council and the Parliament.
- KonferenzbeitragVoting in uncontrolled environment and the secrecy of the vote(Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Vollan, KåreVoting in uncontrolled environment either by post or by the Internet is about to be made generally available in many countries. The main purpose is to increase participation at times when the voter turnout is generally decreasing. Electronic voting both in or outside controlled environment offers advantages in producing fast and reliable results and long term cost savings in the conduct of elections. A number of problems relating to security, reliability and general trust can be solved by Internet voting, once an infrastructure for voter identification is in place. However, neither postal votes nor Internet votes can guarantee that the vote is cast in secrecy without intimidation or pressure. Even without the most serious violations to a free vote, the pattern of voting will change and the concept of voting being a strictly personal and secret act is likely to be weakened over time. There are few reasons to doubt that the introduction of voting by Internet once generally available will have the same success in terms of usage as other Internet services such as bank transactions, tax returns etc. Once being implemented in a user friendly and reliable manner the electronic interface may within foreseeable future become the major voting channel. This paper does not discuss in depth the legal issues related to whether uncontrolled voting meets international commitments regarding a secret vote. The focus is to what extent the most likely change of voting pattern from a public to a more private, but less secret event, is a positive development. It concludes that the problematic issues which can be raised are fundamental and the long term damage to the perception of a personal and secret vote should be discussed by governments and inter-government organisations. Alternatives such as electronic voting in controlled environment prior to election day may, to a large extent, serve the same purpose without showing the negative side effects of voting outside of controlled environment.
- KonferenzbeitragContributions to traditional electronic voting systems in order to reinforce citizen confidence(Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Gómez Olivia, Ana; Sánchez Garcia, Sergio; Pérez Belleboni, EmiliaThis document provides a general description of the telematic voting scenario designed by the author's research group. This scenario reinforces verification procedures as key elements to achieve full acceptance of the system on the part of voters. To frame this work, a general overview of electronic voting is given and the conditions entailed by these systems are specified.
- KonferenzbeitragThe 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, VeraThe 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.
