- KonferenzbeitragAssessing Internet Voting as an Early Voting Reform in the United States(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Kolar Prevost, AliciaRecent research on convenience voting reforms in the United States has found that programs designed to make voting easier have not succeeded in boosting turnout, and have even had the unintended consequence of exacerbating the demographic biases that already exist in the electorate by encouraging votes among those who were most likely to vote anyway but who were inconvenienced by going to the polls on election day. Using public voting records and a unique dataset of Internet voters in the 2004 Michigan Democratic Presidential primary, this paper offers new evidence that Internet voting benefits two groups of people: young voters and people who vote infrequently. Like previous research on voting reforms, I also find evidence that Internet voting does not draw new voters into the electorate. I discuss the implications of these findings for the future of early voting reforms in general and Internet voting in particular.
- KonferenzbeitragAssessing the Impact of E-Voting Technologies on Electoral Outcomes: an Analysis of Buenos Aires’ 2005 Congressional Election(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Katz, Gabriel; Alvarez, R. Michael; Calvo, Ernesto; Escolar, Marcelo; Pomares, JuliaUsing data from an e-voting experiment conducted in the 2005 Congressional Election in Argentina, we estimate the effect of different e-voting technologies on the likelihood that citizens cast their vote for different parties for the National Congress and the Legislature of Buenos Aires. Our results indicate that voters are extremely receptive to the information cues provided by the different voting technologies and associated ballot designs, and that particular voting devices have a significant impact on voter choice, systematically favouring some parties to the detriment of others. We conclude that the choice of alternative electronic voting devices might have considerable effect on electoral outcomes in multi-party electoral systems.
- KonferenzbeitragCAPTCHA-based Code Voting(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Oppliger, Rolf; Schwenk, Jörg; Löhr, ChristophCode voting provides an appropriate technology to address the secure platform problem of remote Internet voting, but it is not particularly user-friendly. In this paper, we propose the use of CAPTCHA- an acronym standing for Completely Automated Public Turing tests to tell Computers and Humans Apart - to improve the user-friendliness of code voting, discuss the security of CAPTCHA- based code voting, and elaborate on a possible implementation.
- KonferenzbeitragThe Certification of E-Voting Mechanisms. Fighting against Opacity(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Barrat i Esteve, JordiMany countries are using certification procedures to guarantee the full compliance of e-voting mechanisms with democratic standards, but the data generated by these analysis is normally handled almost secretly. Given that transparency is a key principle to guarantee citizen's confidence in the electoral process, this opacity would only be acceptable after a correct balance of the concurrent interests. The paper provides specific data on the certification mechanisms of some countries and assesses the feasibility of a disclosure of the certification reports.
- KonferenzbeitragCode Voting With Linkable Group Signatures(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Helbach, Jörg; Schwenk, Jörg; Schäge, SvenCode Voting is an appropriate technology to deal with the “Secure Platform Problem” [Riv02]. However, code voting as proposed by Chaum [Cha01] is vulnerable to vote selling and other flaccidities. In this paper we describe the vulnerabilities of code voting and propose to extend code voting to prevent vote selling. For this purpose we combine code voting with linkable group signatures and vote updating. We analyze the security properties of this new approach.
- KonferenzbeitragDevelopment of a Formal IT Security Model for Remote Electronic Voting Systems(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Grimm, Rüdiger; Volkamer, MelanieRemote electronic voting systems are more and more used - not so much for parliamentary elections, but nevertheless for elections on lower levels as in associations and at universities. In order to have a basis for the evaluation and certification, in Germany a Common Criteria Protection Profile [PP08] is developed, which defines basic requirements for remote electronic voting systems. This Protection Profile requires a rather low evaluation depth (EAL2+). For elections on higher levels an appropriate adjustment of the evaluation depth is recommended. In its first part this paper points out that increasing the evaluation depth beyond EAL5 is not possible at present, since EAL6 requires formal methods and in particular a formal IT security model. Such a formal model does not exist yet. In the second part, this paper proposes a first step to an IT security model for remote electronic voting systems, which, however, considers only a subset of the security objectives defined in the Protection Profile [PP08].
- KonferenzbeitragE-Voting in Brazil – Reinforcing Institutions While Diminishing Citizenship(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Filho, José RodriguesBrazil became the first country in the world to conduct a large-scale national election using e-voting technology. What does it mean for democracy to hold an electronic election for millions of poor people, most of them living under the poverty line? Is the high investment in e-voting technologies designed to the benefit of millions of illiterate people? The discussions about the lack of security of e-voting in Brazil and in many other countries are based on a rather reductionist view that neglects both its social and political aspects. In this work, an attempt is made to expand the critique of the problems of e-voting beyond its lack of security and technological failures. It is argued that information technology in many parts of the world is reinforcing institutions and has done little to change our democracy. In its current form, e-voting technology in Brazil seems to be reinforcing some institutions while diminishing citizenship and democracy.
- KonferenzbeitragE-Voting in the Netherlands; from General Acceptance to General Doubt in Two Years(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Loeber, LeontineThis document is a case study of a country in which e-voting used to be the general norm: The Netherlands. It gives a detailed description of the events in the last two years surrounding e-voting in the Netherlands. During this time, the security and reliability of the voting machines that were used were questioned successfully by an action group. This led to court cases, the withdrawal of the certification of these machines and eventually to a complete stop of their use. In the current situation, The Netherlands reverted back to paper ballot voting at least until a whole new system is designed, approved of by Parliament, built and implemented. In this document the author tries to explain why this happened at this particular time. The paper concludes with some ideas on what other countries that are considering the introduction of e-voting might learn from the Dutch experience.
- KonferenzbeitragThe E-Voting Readiness Index(Electronic Voting 2008 (EVOTE08). 3rd International Conference on Electronic Voting 2008, Co-organized by Council of Europe, Gesellschaft für Informatik and EVoting.CC, 2008) Krimmer, Robert; Schuster, RonaldThe goal of this study is to analyse and compare the environment for the introduction of E-Voting. To do so a contextual model is developed and then applied with the value benefit analysis to compare 31 countries including all EU member states, and Russia, Switzerland, United States and Venezuela.
