Solutions | Remote e-Voting |Telephone Voting

The telephone voting process is very intuitive while ensuring the highest levels of security an privacy. It is carried out in three steps:

· Voters call the phone number provided by the Election Authority, securely authenticate themselves and vote by calling out their preference or using the keypad of their phone.

· The vote is encrypted, digitally signed and sent to the ballot box. A verification code is called out.

· The tally process is identical to Internet voting.

Telephone voting can be as secure as traditional paper-based voting provided that adequate security and accessibility measures are adopted:

·  Voter Privacy:

Is ensured by sealing the votes in digital envelopes and breaking the correlation between the votes and individual voters by the time votes are being deciphered.

·  Accessibility:

Clear audio instructions are provided to voters, making it extremely simple for them to vote, even in the case of complicated ballots where large numbers of candidates have to be ordered preferentially. It easily adapts to local pronunciation so that candidates names do not get confused and supports other advanced features like volume and speed control.

Similarly to Internet voting, a verification receipt will allow voters to verify that their vote has been recorded by the system as cast.
