Abstract

We propose an electronic voting (e-voting) scheme that combines user-centric mix networks with voter-verifiable receipts. Unlike traditional mixnet-based e-voting schemes, our scheme empowers voters; the voters themselves decide the degree of anonymity required. Voters requiring a greater degree of anonymity obtain it by performing several protocol iterations. The proposed scheme utilizes incoercible, voter-verifiable receipts. It is robust as no reasonable-sized coalition can interfere with the correct operation. Finally, it is efficient as the number of transmitted messages increases linearly with the number of voters.
