Prêt à Voter - verifiable electronic elections
Written by David Lundin   
Friday, 01 June 2007

Prêt à Voter is an electronic voting system that uses paper based ballot forms that are turned into encrypted receipts to provide security and auditability while remaining coercion resistant and easy to use. The system is developed by researchers at the University of Surrey, UK and the University of Newcastle, UK.

Most electronic voting systems employed around the world today are not verifiable. Our research is into systems where the voter can check that her vote has been counted without being coerced or able to sell her vote and where anyone can check that the election is counted correctly. In simple terms our system does not trust anyone but allows the voters to check every aspect of the election. This is impossible in traditional voting systems but is possible in electronic elections.
