E-Voting can be easily solved with ID cards combined with something similar to the blockchain so that you can verify your vote if you need to.
The technology is there but I don't think there is any incentive to make it happen.
The only problem that I can see is that we cannot be certain that any e-voting technology will survive future information security research and as a result the design needs to factor continuous upgrades.
- destructaball 10y agoThe problem is that if you can verify your vote you can be coerced into voting in a certain way. There would need to be some sort of plausible deniability built in.
- _pdp_ 10y agoOnly you will be able to verify your vote. All votes are anonymous. You should be able to verify the very first vote as well and as a result of that verify the entire chain up to your vote. The last vote should also be verifiable to ensure that the chain is complete.
- rtkwe 10y agoThat doesn't solve the problem of verifiable votes. If you are able to verify your vote you can be coerced the verify it in the presence of someone else.
