    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.

    Contributions 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, Emilia
    This 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.

    E-voting in Brazil - the risks to democracy
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Rodrigues-Filho, José; Cynthia J., Alexander; Batista, Luciano C.
    Literature has shown that countries with strong democratic traditions, such as the United States and Canada, are not yet using electronic voting systems intensively, due to the concern for and emphasis on security. It has revealed that there is no such thing as an error-free computer system, let alone an electronic voting system, and that existing technology does not offer the conditions necessary for a reliable, accurate and secure electronic voting system. In this context, then, what are the risks of e-voting to democracy? In what ways, if at all, can more fragile, less mature democracies be buttressed with e-voting systems? As a key component of e-democracy, it seems that e-voting technologies are to become more secure and increasingly reliable in the near future and will indeed be adopted in many countries. In what ways, if at all, will the introduction of such systems increase voter confidence in the political system, promote citizen engagement in political life, and nurture the evolution of democracy? If both e-voting and e- democracy are emerging based on popular demand - that is, as a demand-driven alternative to current processes, then there is no doubt that they are likely to enhance and improve the efficiency of traditional democracy. However, if e-voting technology is being introduced based on a supply-driven fashion - the technology exists therefore it should and must be implemented - then the implications for democracy should be considered. Brazil’s introduction of e-voting offers a cautionary tale of supply-driven technological implication. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the introduction of e-voting in Brazil is highly risky to democracy due to the lack of emphasis on security and the lack of a socially- informed and socially driven approach to technological innovation. The Brazilian example illustrates the democratic implications of a market-driven approach. The lack of a technology strategy designed to promote and extend democratic principles is not surprising given the closed door, market-based negotiations that led to the adoption of e-voting in Brazil. The promise, and indeed, the imperative of a democratic, voter-centered approach as an alternative for the development of an electronic voting system, is explored in the paper.

    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.

    E-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, Mirko
    The 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.

    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.

    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 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.

    How e-voting technology challenges traditional concepts of citizenship: An analysis of French voting rituals
    (Electronic Voting 2006 – 2nd International Workshop, Co-organized by Council of Europe, ESF TED, IFIP WG 8.6 and E-Voting.CC, 2006) Monnoyer-Smith, Laurence
    This paper describes the direct relationship between the perception of citizenship and its material expression, with emphasis on how changing expression obliges a rethink of the channels of mediation between citizens and their elected leaders. An analysis of the French voting ritual will show how our voting system is embedded in a specific cultural conception of citizenship . The emergence of new voting procedures could then be analysed on a social point of view as the will for citizens to rejuvenate some ancient conception of citizenship. I propose a table which maps out the connection between citizenship models and their new technological materialization. A two-way flow of creativity between models and tools which broadens scope for grassroots participation then explains the creation of new rituals as well as the reframing of the role of existing rituals.
