Ideas for virtual voting and parliament systems under current use or development.

  • Anyone can mathematically verify that the election result is correct (known as Universal Verifiability).
  • DNIe based voter authentication, A digital signature that allows voter authentication that both ensures that voters are eligible as well as avoids the possibility of duplicate votes.
