Maybe each ballot could include a one time pad that you keep to verify the vote.
You could verify your own vote but nobody else could.
It could be very simple to use, like a qr code that links to a public api showing the encoded ballot data, and a second qr code that you scan to decrypt it.
- ric2b 6y agoNot being able to verify who you voted for is by design, it's an important feature to prevent people from being pressured into/persecuted for voting a certain way, or selling their vote. If there's no way to verify your specific vote you can just lie about who you voted for.
- pontifier 6y agoHence why you would want to use a one time pad... It would be easy to choose a key that would show any particular vote cast any way you want. Only you would know how to verify your ballot.
