E-Voting Crypto Protocols

“It’s not the voting that’s democracy; it’s the counting.” —Tom Stoppard

For cryptography researchers, e-voting isn’t about voting machine or online voting, but is a field of research in its own right. E-voting research is about designing e-voting protocols, the core mathematical components of end-to-end auditable voting systems, or voting systems where independent auditors and voters can securely verify that a vote’s outcome is correct. These voting systems aren’t just research papers but real technology that’s been used for actual elections: the city of Takoma Park, Maryland trusted Scantegrity II’s system based on paper ballots with invisible ink, while cryptographers themselves used the Helios online voting system to elect their leaders.
