Abstract :
Electronic voting systems verifiable end-to-end allow voters verify if their votes are cast as intended, collected as listed and counted as collected, that is, provide a calculation can be conferred by civil society. Essentially, the end-to-end electronic voting systems provide assurance to voters that each stage of the election worked properly. At the same time, electronic voting systems should protect the privacy of the voter and to avoid the possibility of influence and undue electoral coercion of voters. Several voting systems have been proposed, varying in usability and practicality. In this study, we analyzed various processes of electronic voting and counting of votes, aiming at a better understanding in the pursuit of secrecy of the vote.
