An Efficient Homomorphic Coercion Resistant and E2E Verifiable Voting Scheme

Abstract

This paper proposes a voting scheme that coalesces many features of an efficient e- voting scheme like receipt-freeness, uncoercibility, E2E verifiable and write-in ballot. Some of the previous schemes in the past literatures provide most of these features at the cost of increased running time. This paper proposes a simple and efficient voting scheme that is coercion resistant and E2E verifiable. It also has the write-in property. Our protocol addresses some of the major drawbacks of previous popular voting schemes to make the proposed scheme applicable for any kind of real time elections.
