To whom it may concern,
E-voting poses a threat to our democracy. This is my conclusion after 5 months
of research into the topic for my undergraduate thesis. My results are
available online at
http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~afrodite/E-Voting/
I hope to mount a campaign over the next few months with the following goals:
- to prevent the use of the Nedap/Powervote system in Irish elections,
- to prevent the purchase of any more equipment or software from
Nedap/Powervote by the Irish government, and
- to ensure that any electronic voting system introduced in Ireland meets the
following criteria
- a booth is used, analagous to the traditional polling booth,
- all development uses formal methods,
- votes are printed on a paper ballot to be verified by the voter,
- all source code is publicly available.
If you would be interested in getting involved in such a campaign, or have any
advice/comments, please contact me at
