This doesn't explain how you prevent against paying or pressuring people for their vote. If someone can potentially watch you as you vote, this is not an anonymous voting scheme anymore.
- nixos 10y agoIt does. One can drop by the next day and vote for someone else (and the last vote wins over earlier, and physical voting overrides e-voting). However, it still requires that people "undo" their vote. I can imagine that a large percentage of people won't, so it will still be a net gain to coercion.
- ebalit 10y agoI missed this part. It seems like a good idea indeed but it could be countered. Force or pay a person to vote the last day and then to give you their ID until the vote is closed. Of course, it's still a step in the right direction as it makes a large vote buying scheme harder.
