Item On the Independent Verification of a Punchscan Election(2007) Carback III, Richard T.; Clark, Jeremy; Essex, Aleks; Popoveniuc, StefanPunchscan is a cryptographic voting system providing full transparency throughout the entire election process: a mandatory pre-election public audit, a mandatory post-election public audit, and the ability for a voter to check the correct printing and recorded marks on a paper receipt she keeps. Even though a voter can verify that her vote is counted as she cast it, the ballot receipt does not contain enough information to show someone else how she voted. These unique properties produce a system with a voluntary and universally available process that establishes an overwhelmingly high statistical degree of confidence in the integrity of the outcome—in other words, they allow for unparalleled independent verification of election results. These ideas are new and have the potential to radically change the way we think about and build the voting systems of the future.Item The PnchScan Voting System(2006-08-20) Carback, Rick; Chaum, David; Clark, Jeremy; Essex, Aleks; Fisher, Kevin; Hosp, Ben; Popoveniuc, Stefan; Robin, JeremyItem Punchscan in Practice: An E2E Election Case StudyEssex, Aleks; Clark, Jeremy; Carback, Rick; Popoveniuc, StefanThis paper presents a case study of the E2E voting system Punchscan and its first use in a binding election. The election was held in March 2007 at the University of Ottawa for several offices within the university’s graduate student association. This case study presents a walkthrough of the election and offers discussion as to how the voters and poll workers responded to the Punchscan system, with implications to E2E systems in general.
