Abstract

This paper improves voters' convenience in the secret-ballot voting scheme offered by Fujioka, Ohta and Okamoto. In their scheme, all voters have to participate in all stages of the voting scheme; that is, the registering, the voting and the counting stages. In our scheme voters do not need to join to the counting stage; hence the voters can walk away once they cast their ballots. This property, realized by the introduction of distributed talliers, will be beneficial in the practical implementation of a voting scheme where less round complexity is desired.
