  • Abstract
    The multi-candidates electronic election is very useful in numerous practical situations. Most of the electronic election schemes discuss Boolean election in which voters can only cast "yes/no" vote. A new multi-candidates electronic election scheme is presented which is appropriate for "k-out-of-n" election. The scheme is characterized with perfect security, anonymity, fairness, correctness and verification. A vote can cast more than one candidate in one vote. The big prime numbers that are the markers of the candidates supported by a voter are multiplied as a vote. The validity of a vote can be concluded based on whether a vote is exactly divisible by the square of every candidate\´s marker or not. Electoral office checks a voter\´s identification and qualifies the voter for vote by his blind signature. But the identification of a voter can not be revealed by the electoral office, the teller or their conspiracy because they don\´t know all the keys used to encrypt the voter\´s identification. All the votes will be released by the teller and anyone can verify the final ballot.
