The
eVoting system is established to follow the voting protocols set out by
the Constitution and Rules of Procedure for each event. These voting
protocols include clear stipulation of requiring secret ballots for
certain votes (ie for Elections). When a secret vote is opened on the
eVoting system, delegations can see that the vote is secret with a
special "eye" symbol.
The
eVoting system does not capture any data with the secret votes that
associates a vote with a specific user. This also means that delegations
will be unable to see how they cast their vote after the vote has been
confirmed, all they can see is that they have voted.
Part
of the 3rd party testing conducted for the credibility of the eVoting
system was to clearly test the secret vote and the database of the
system. We very much welcome more technical questions on this matter, so
if you wish for more details, please contact us at voting@scout.org.
