Tangential thought I've had around electoral transparency:
If you had (open schematic/open source) electronic voting equipment, you could issue a hashed/random ID on receipt of a ballot. After accumulating a number of votes, the ballot data is published alongside the secret IDs and can then be audited by the respective voters.
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoI've had the same thought - voter verifiability would certainly remove a lot of the ability to corrupt the vote. However, my reservation is those who are pressured to vote in a particular way, their imam/husband/abuser tells them how to vote; that way the vote could be checked and so couldn't be consider truly anonymous. If you go a step further and then have the hash encrypted with a one-time pad it's getting too complicate IMO and an abuser could simply demand the pad.
