In modern societies, information and communication technology is used to increase citizens’ participation in the democracy process. In developing countries, to enhance the democracy, there is need to utilize the ICT to enhance citizens’ participations in the elections. This created through making the voting easier for eligible voters and grant that their votes will be counted. This research ide...

This paper discusses the implementation of an online voting system based on image steganography and visual cryptography. The system was implemented in Java EE on a web-based interface, with MySQL database server and Glassfish application server as the backend. After considering the requirements of an online voting system, current technologies on electronic voting schemes in published literature...

Abstract One of the important systems for society today is electronic voting system. All people around world are looking transparency and integrity, they afraid fraud. Electronic system confirming true identity a person. Fingerprint identification may be preferred over traditional methods (e.g. passwords, smart-cards) because its information virtually impossible to steal. This paper introduces ...

Punchscan is a unique hybrid paper/electronic voting system concept. As a receipt-based system, Punchscan provides high voter privacy and election integrity, yet it does not rely on the complex and fragile electronic voting machines found in many current implementations. In this paper, we define the Punchscan system and voting protocol, including the people, objects and events involved and the ...

Abstract: A highly customizable voting subsystem has been implemented as part of the Web4Groups EU supported project (Telematics Application Development Projects, Fourth Framework Program). The target of the Web4Groups project is to develop a distributed non-simultaneous group communication system with multiple access possibilities (WWW, mail, fax, etc.) and incorporating advanced groupware fun...

We introduce the SV000gg systems: two Ensemble Methods for the Complex Word Identification task of SemEval 2016. While the SV000gg-Hard system exploits basic Hard Voting, the SV000gg-Soft system employs Performance-Oriented Soft Voting, which weights votes according to the voter’s performance rather than its prediction confidence, allowing for completely heterogeneous systems to be combined. Ou...

The Open Voting Consortium has a developed a prototype voting system that includes an open source, PC-based voting machine that prints an accessible, voter-verified paper ballot along with an electronic audit trail. This system was designed for reliability, security, privacy, accessibility and auditability. This paper describes some of the privacy considerations for the system.
