Re: free e-voting software available?!

2006-06-19 Thread Andrea Pasquinucci
I am working on the implementation of a system which should fit your 
requirements based on some work of mine and on

  "A Protocol for Anonymous and Accurate E-Polling",
  Danilo Bruschi, Igor Nai Fovino, Andrea Lanzi,
  E-Government: Towards Electronic Democracy, International Conference, 
  TCGOV 2005, Bolzano, Italy, March 2-4, 2005, Proceedings. Lecture 
  Notes in Computer Science 3416 Springer 2005, ISBN 3-540-25016-6

I am planning to release the first version together with docs etc, in 
september (the system is already working, but I prefer not to release 
preliminary test versions). 

Andrea

PS. In case for the moment contact me in private for more infos.

For non-commercial use, ZMAIL offers free voting software
and service. The secure ballot may have a Release Time (cannot
be read before) and an Expiration Time (cannot be read after),
defining when voting begins and ends. Verified voter
registration is included. Candidates and voters know that the
votes will remain secret until the election closes, and can be
verified, without the need to trust a third-party or proxy service.
For small elections, the received ballots can be printed and
manually tallied, with or without identifying voter information,
as desired. The printed ballots can be audited and stored.

For large elections, or for commercial use, the entire election work
can be automated and third-party audited.

Cheers,

Query your search engine for Punchscan, a design led by the 
distinguished cryptographer David Chaum, e.g. 
http://vote.cs.gwu.edu/vsrw2006/papers/9.pdf.


Apparently, their development project is aimed at educational votations 
as an operational proof-of-concept.


Interesting project, cryptography application to voting system without 
number theory or secret key cipher design.


Have fun.

free e-voting software available?!

2006-06-15 Thread John R. Black

My department would like to conduct departmental votes in some automated way.
We're looking for free software, (or modestly-priced software) to do this.

We don't have the usual requirements of a full-blown voting package
(for example, we don't need to ensure that Alice cannot prove whom she
voted for later on; this is a typical requirement of voting schemes).

We are not voting on earth-shattering events, so it doesn't have to be
perfect.  We just want to improve on the "email your votes to the secretary"
approach.

If nothing suitable is out there, I'll likely get a student to write something
and put it into the public domain.
