Electronic Suffrage: A Modern Approach to Voter Privacy and Flexibility in Elections

This document outlines a comprehensive design for an electronic voting system that emphasizes adherence to existing government regulations while minimizing voter impact and maximizing privacy. The system’s structured framework includes three major components: election administration, external voter registration, and an intuitive voting interface, allowing for flexibility and local control. Key design patterns enhance the system’s ability to provide rapid tally calculations and customized ballots, while incremental deployment ensures adaptability to changing requirements.
