The Technical Feasibility of E-Voting

An electronic voting system is a voting system in which the election data is recorded, stored and processed primarily as digital information. The research on electronic voting is a very important topic for the progress of democracy. If a secure and convenient E-Voting system is provided, it will be used more frequently to collect people's opinion through cyber space. E-Voting may become the quickest, cheapest, and the most efficient way to administer election and count vote since it only consists of simple process or procedure and require a few worker within the process. The main task of this paper is to introduce the idea of the Internet voting systems. It discusses the different ways in which voters can vote, then we introduce the concepts of E-voting system .This paper observes the security threats that may affect E- Voting system. This paper discusses security requirements of E-voting systems and a description of desirable characteristics that should exist in any good E-voting system and the reason for each characteristic with respect to the voting process. In this paper we analyze some researcher's efforts in E-voting systems in order to minimize the threats that compromise E-voting systems. We end with our opinion about technical feasibility of E-voting in developing countries.
