Call for ideas to improve Estonian Internet voting

Estonian_internet_voting

Electronic Voting Committee invites those interested in Internet voting to attend the day of ideas event, which will take place on Thursday, 18 June, 2015 from 11:00 to 15:00 in the hall of commandant house at Toompea street 1, Tallinn.

I-voting in Estonia has been used already for 8 elections in 10 years. The system has been continuously developed, but since the time of the next regular elections is after little more than two years, it is an opportune time for introducing something larger and more substantial.

Hence the aim for the day of ideas: everyone will have the opportunity to present his ideas or thoughts on how to make i-voting even better, more secure, more transparent, more reliable, etc. – invited are both technical and organizational improvement proposals.

To have a smooth management of the event:
a) register your participation no later than 16 June by sending an e-mail to vvk dot ee.
b) describe in a few sentences the idea and give an estimate on the time needed for the presentation. If you wish, you can show the slides.

Invited are also those who do not have their ideas, but still would like to participate in the debate about the ideas.

EVOTE2014: Verifiable Internet Voting in Estonia

estonian_internet_voting_protocol

Abstract
This paper introduces an extension to the Estonian Internet voting scheme allowing the voters to check the cast-as-intended and recorded-as-cast properties of their vote by using a mobile device. The scheme was used during the 2013 Estonian local municipal elections and the 2014 European Parliament elections. 3.43% and 4.04% of all Internet votes were verified, respectively. We will present the details of the protocol, discuss the security thereof and the results of implementation.
