Title:
ELECTRONIC VOTING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3170859
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To detect and exclude ineffective voting for both a positive and a negative vote by providing a means which totalizes votes unless a double vote is detected.
CONSTITUTION: A voter subsystem 101 reads the contents of a bulletin board 102 by using a bulletin board read means 301 and generates voting forms for a positive and a negative votes and double voting forms by using a constant number and a random number. A voting form converter 304 properly converts and sends them to a election administration center 100 through a signed vote transmitting means 305. The center 100 performs a blind sign processing and sends them back to voters 101. Each voter 101 generates voting contents and a sign sentence for the double voting detection form by using the sent-back blind sign sentence and sends the voting contents and double voting detection form to the center 100 without the sign. The center 100 confirms voting contents in adequate voting form with the adequate sign and the totalizing means 208 totalizes the voting contents unless double voting is detected.
