Electronics and Computer Sciences for Fair Elections

Electronic voting (also known as e-voting) is voting that uses electronic means to either aid or take care of casting and counting ballots.Depending on the particular implementation, e-voting may use standalone electronic voting machines (also called EVM) or computers connected to the Internet (online voting). It may encompass a range of internet services, from basic transmission of tabulated results to full-function online voting through common connectable household devices. The degree of automation may be limited to marking a paper ballot or may be a comprehensive system of vote in-put, vote recording, data encryption and transmission to servers, and consolidation and tabulation of election results.
