A viewable e-voting scheme for environments with conflict of interest

In this paper, we propose a distributed, verifiable, and viewable e-voting scheme. Our scheme mimics the real life voting environments such as multiple political parties with conflict of interest, and meets typical demands in such environments. Meanwhile, the computation is distributed among all voters and the entire voting process is transparent to all as well. A voter can not only verify his own vote, but also view all other individual votes, and consequently the vote total for each candidate. In particular, our scheme observes both anonymity and accountability, while managing fairness. Our analysis and experiment show that the scheme scales in polynomial.
