Abstract
Due to the rapid growth of computer networks and advances in cryptography, Electronic Voting Systems are becoming a real option for voters. These systems must fulfil requirements such as accuracy, invulnerability, privacy, verifiability, convenience, flexibility and mobility, protected by the required security schemes. Those requirements guarantee that elections run on such systems are universal, equal, secret and free. Voter interfaces for those systems should be designed so that no eligible voter feels discriminated. Thus, they should be adapted even for disabled and illiterate voters. In this paper, we analyse different interfaces used in already developed and tested electronic voting systems, organizing them into polling station and remote system types. Then, we describe the interface of electronic voting systems and propose improvements to adapt them to all eligible voters. Afterwards, we perform the same analysis and corresponding proposals for remote electronic voting systems.
