- 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.
- KonferenzbeitragCoercion-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, JörnWe 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.
- 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.
- 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].
- KonferenzbeitragThe dimensions of electronic voting – Technology, law, politics and society(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Prosser, Alexander; Krimmer, RobertSince the Internet boom in the 1990's the question has arisen, will it be possible to vote via the Internet one day. In many European countries and around the world initiatives of research institutions, private organisations and governments have tried to provide an electronic solution to this key democratic process. As many projects there are, as many different strategies lie behind that. Based on similar studies out of the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, this article develops a register of criteria to assess and compare different E-Voting initiatives on national and project level using four key dimensions: Technology, Law, Politics and Society.
- KonferenzbeitragE-democracy in E-Austria(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Rupp, ChristianChristian Rupp has been appointed Federal Executive Secretary of E- Government in May of 2003. At that point of time a new E-Government Platform was introduced. He reports on the current developments of E-Democracy in Austria.
