| Abstract | Voting in elections in the past used to be done with pen and paper. But over the past decades, countries have switched to electronic voting machines (EVMs). Already from the outset, the use of these machines has been heavily criticised by information security experts, concerned about the possibility of election fraud and the undermining of voting secrecy. But experts also raised a more fundamental concern: it’s next to impossible to scrutinise the internal workings of EVMs, and this, combined with the potential for tampering, could undermine trust in the outcome of elections. |
