“…For example, Auer and Von Arx have attempted to develop an ideal-type of the procedural legitimacy of e-voting insisting on criteria such as security, transparency and control of the voting process and of the counting of votes (Auer and Von Arx, 2001). The same type of research was carried out by Gritzalis (2002) and Saltman (1998) among others. Similarly, several researchers have focused their attention on the vulnerability of New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT) to hacking and viruses (Fairweather and Rogerson, 2003).…”

Computer voting was introduced in Belgium in 1994. Paradoxically, no action had been taken to ascertain the opinion of electors confronted with this original method of voting. This article verifies the social and empirical dimensions of legitimacy of this new method through several empirical indicators used in a survey conducted on the occasion of the federal elections of 18 May 2003: (a) how easy/difficult it was for electors to vote on a computer; (b) to what extent they trust voting on a computer; (c) if they have a philosophical/social opposition to voting on a computer.

“…Our aim is to consider: firstly, the extent to which procedural controls employed may be adequate to protect against attacks; and secondly the extent to which the existing transparency measures are able to provide confidence in the security of the I-Voting system. This focus on procedural components is guided by the fact that the principles underpinning a secure and democratic online voting system often create conflicting requirements [5]. These conflicts have been deemed impossible to be resolved by software engineering alone [6], hence the need for and importance of broader procedural controls.…”

“…The various features mentioned here and those above seek to bring I-Voting closer to fundamental constitutional require-ments of the voting process, i.e., generality, freedom, equality, secrecy, directness and democracy [5], with security added to ensure that these principles are safeguarded.…”

Abstract. The I-Voting system designed and implemented in Estonia is one of the first nationwide Internet voting systems. Since its creation, it has been met with praise but also with close scrutiny. Concerns regarding security breaches have focused on in-person election observations, code reviews and adversarial testing on system components. These concerns have led many to conclude that there are various ways in which insider threats and sophisticated external attacks may compromise the integrity of the system and thus the voting process. In this paper, we examine the procedural components of the I-Voting system, with an emphasis on the controls related to procedural security mechanisms, and on systemtransparency measures. Through an approach grounded in primary and secondary data sources, including interviews with key Estonian election personnel, we conduct an initial investigation into the extent to which the present controls mitigate the real security risks faced by the system. The experience and insight we present in this paper will be useful both in the context of the I-Voting system, and potentially more broadly in other voting systems.

“…L'intérêt accordé à cette modernisation est justifié, d'une part, par ses nombreux avantages (simplification du processus électoral, diminution considérable des coûts associés au vote, résolution efficace des problèmes d'accessibilité des personnes handicapées ou malades (Rodríguez et al, 2008),…) et, d'autre part, par une immense bibliographie de travaux de recherche scientifique ou technologique qui s'intéressent à l'élection informatisée. Ces travaux ont comme objectifs l'étude (Powell et al, 2012), la conception (Ghassan et al, 2007), l'innovation (Chen et al, 2011) des outils de cette modernisation, et l'étude des problèmes liés à la sécurité des techniques utilisées (Gritzalis, 2002), entre autres intérêts.…”

The election decision-making process is very complex, whether to voters or to political parties. The integration of business intelligence into this process may become one of the key elements that support and improve the election decision-making process. This research paid special attention to the integration of business intelligence into such a process. It is inspired by the IMC model and based on cloud computing. This structural concept offers a definition to the four important levels of decision. These levels take into account the maximum number of factors that may influence the success of an election process.Keywords: Business Intelligence System, election process, Cloud RESUMÉELe processus de prise de décision électorale est un processus complexe. Que ce soit pour les électeurs, ou bien pour les partis politiques. L'intégration de l'informatique décisionnelle dans ce processus peut devenir une des clés importantes, qui peut offrir un appui et apporter une amélioration dans les prises de décisions électorales. La présente investigation a porté une attention particulière sur l'intégration de l'informatique décisionnelle dans le processus électoral, en s'inspirant du modèle IMC, et sur la base de l'informatique nuageuse. La présente conception architecturale propose la définition de quatre importants niveaux décisionnels. Ces niveaux prennent en compte le maximum de facteurs qui peuvent influencer la réussite du processus décisionnel électoral.
