This is the eighth edition of the leading international event for e-voting experts from all over the world, taking place in Luxembourg in October 2023. One of E-Vote-ID’s major objectives is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary and open discussion of all issues related to electronic voting (including, but not limited to, polling stations, kiosks, ballot scanners, and Internet voting). In the first seven editions, over 240 presentations were discussed, gathering more than 900 participants. The format of the conference is a three-day meeting. No parallel sessions will be held and sufficient space will be given for informal communication.

Submission Deadline: 15 September 2023
Chairs: Kirsten, Michael (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany)

Track 5: PhD Colloquium
Submission Deadline: 10 July 2023 at 23:59*
Notification of acceptance:
14 August 2023
The goal of the colloquium is to foster the understanding and academic quality of PhD students' contributions in collaboration with senior researchers in the field. Further the collaboration between PhD students from various disciplines working on e-voting is supported. To this end, the program allows plenty of space for discussion and initiating collaboration based on presentations by attendees. Each interested participant should ideally submit their research proposal (or alternatively ideas for papers, open problems, or other issues where feedback from colleagues would be helpful etc.) in the form of an extended draft using the conference platform. High-potential master students can also submit their work to the colloquium.
The PhD Colloquium takes place on the day before the formal conference begins.
( *Hawaiian time, hard deadline, no extension)
