Facts on voting in Norway• Elections are held bi-annually• Alternating (4y) between municipal and
county elections, and parliamentary and Sami assembly elections
• Norway has a proportional electoral system where parties or lists win representatives according to their relative support in the electorate
• Voters are able to affect which candidates are elected by making individual changes to the ballot.
• 77% turnout on parliamentary elections (decreasing)

The E-vote 2011 Project scope
• Replace current local existing administrative system for paper-votes with a central government owned and operated system (E/I/P-votes)
• Internet-voting from home/abroad in 2011 elections in in advanced voting period (Not election day)
• Use online electoral roll in polling stations

The E-vote 2011 Project scope
• Add E-voting as supplement to paper-voting (multiple e-votes, cancel e-vote by p-vote)
• No e-voting in polling station on election day
• Pilots in 2011 in 11 municipalities and one county (approximately 200.000 possible voters)
• If success in 2011, full scale roll-out decided by parliament in 2012

Implications of Internet voting
• Internet voting is inherently unobservable
• Therfore the role of the observers must change
• Auditing of Internet voting is possible
• Auditing combined with voter observation replaces the function of the observer in the polling station

The Black Box Problem
• The counting of paper ballots is an open and observable process
• Paper ballots can be recounted
• E-vote recounts are absurd
• When you move an open and observable process inside a computer, you introduce a black box problem

What have we done so far?
• Full transparency in procurement process and project
• Completely open source• Use of wide spectrum of reference
groups• Third party QA• Internal QA by Kåre Vollan• Complete public ownership to
solution• Very active in presenting and
discussing project

E-voting and security
• Secure e-voting is hard.• In e-voting, the security
requirements are really an operationalization of democratic principles• Secure authentication (one voter,
one vote)• Secrecy of the vote• Integrity of the ballot• Anti-collusion (every vote
counted correctly)
