A performance ratings framework for the evaluation of electronic voting systems: project highlights: exploratory research

ABSTRACT

This paper outlines the highlights of the DG-funded year-long project on performance-ratings for voting system evaluation. It describes recent work on evaluating voting systems with respect to privacy, and on a performance evaluation of an implemented system. It ends with a summary of plans for the next few months.
