Ballot tracability

Hi there,

Totally agree with the tracability of ballots, but any eVoting system implemented for wide scale use in the UK would have to meet this requirement as well. Practically it's a moderately difficult problem to solve, but can be done AND be much more secure than the current paper ballots are (where the only limitation to being able to find out how someone voted is having the ballots, the list and eyes!). You might be interested in knowing that ORG would like to remove this requirement to have ballots traced back, even in a paper ballot.

Personally I consider this a step backwards in electoral security and accountability, whilst gaining us very little in terms of privacy.

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
