Abstract :
This paper presents a complete voting system introduced by David Chaum, a leading cryptography researcher who works independently in Southern California. The system, called Punchscan, avoids all the flaws and limitations of the commercial ones. The system addresses the key concerns raised by academic critics of commercial electronic voting systems. Punchscan can figure out the voter´s choices, but no database connects ballot and voter
