  • Abstract
    As the technology for e-voting changes day by day along with an evolution of the regulatory environment, many questions emerge. One of these questions is how to allow voters or any third party to verify votes are correctly captured, stored and counted. This underlines the fact that an e-voting system is not only responsible for ensuring its technical and procedural security, but also must provide a mechanism by which voters can verify their votes during and after casting, and third party be able to verify the correctness and integrity of election results. The purpose of this paper is to review currently deployed vote verification methods, by discuss their weaknesses with the aim of proposing a more reliable and robust vote verification method.
