Pretty Good Democracy for More Expressive Voting Schemes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we reconsider Pretty Good Democracy, a scheme for verifiable Internet voting from untrusted client machines. The original scheme worked for first-past-the-post elections. Here we show how PGD can be extended to voting schemes in which the voter lists the candidates in their order of preference. Our scheme applies to elections using STV, IRV, Borda, or any other tallying scheme in which a vote is a list of candidates in preference order. We also describe an extension to Approval or Range voting.

However, there is no known cryptographically sec...

Code voting seeks to address the issues of privacy and integrity for Remote Internet Voting. It sidesteps many of the inherent vulnerabilities of the Internet and client platforms but it does not provide end-to-end verification that votes are counted as cast.
