To provide a quantum voting method for principally guaranteeing safety which is independent of an assumption in computational complexity.
This quantum voting system is configured by connecting a voting management device and a voting device through a quantum communication path and a classical communication path. The voting management device selects and stores secret information K, generates a random column r, prepares a voting sheet ¾ϕ> in a quantum state from the secret information K and the random column r, and transmits ¾ϕ> to the voting device. The voting device applies unitary transformation for acquiring anonymity and further applies unitary conversion for filling in a candidate name to the ¾ϕ>, prepares a voting sheet ¾ϕ'> in the quantum state, and transmits it to the voting management device. The voting management device observes ¾ϕ'> with a base corresponding to the secret information K, and verifies, on the basis of the observation result, whether ¾ϕ'> is the candidate name, and rejects it when anything other than the candidate name appears, and accepts it when it is the name of the candidate.
