This is the ninth edition of the leading international event for e-voting experts from all over the world, taking place in Tarragona, October 2-4, 2024.
One of E-Vote-lD's major objectives is to provide a forum for inter-disciplinary 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 eight editions, over 270 presentations were discussed, gathering more than 1000 participants. The format of the conference is an in-place three-day meeting. No parallel sessions will be held and sufficient space will be given for informal communication.
General Conference Chairs: Duenas-Cid, David (Kozminski University, Poland), Volkamer, Melanie (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany), Roenne, Peter (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg).
Local Chairs: Castellà, Jordi (Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain) and Barrat, Jordi, (Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain).
Track 1: Security, Usability and Technical Issues
Chairs: Budurushi, Jurlind (DHBW Karlsruhe, Germany) and Blom, Michelle (The University of Melbourne, Australia)
- (Remote) Electronic voting protocols and systems: design and analysis;
- New types of voter identification and authentication;
- Ballot secrecy, receipt-freeness, and coercion resistance;
- End-to-end verifiability;
- Risk limiting audits;
- Requirements and formal modelling;
- Evaluation and certification, including international security standards;
- Risk assessment
- Voter authentication
- Human aspects of security mechanisms in electronic voting and in particular of verifiability mechanisms;
- Or any other security and Human-Computer Interface (HCI) issues relevant to (remote) electronic voting.
Track 2: Governance Issues
Chairs: Spycher-Krivonosova, Iuliia (University of Bern, Switzerland) and Rodríguez, Adrià (Scytl and Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain).
This track is intended to cover all non-technical issues that occur during the digital transformation of elections including, but not limited to the following:
- Legal, political and social issues of electronic voting implementations, ideally employing case study methodology;
- Interrelationship with, and the effects of, electronic voting on democratic institutions and processes;
- Cultural impact of electronic voting on institutions, behaviour, and attitudes of the Digital Era;
- Administrative, legal, political and social issues of electronic voting;
- Electronic voting legislation;
- Public administrations and the implementation of electronic voting;
- Understandability, transparency, and trust issues in electronic voting;
- Data protection issues;
- Public interests vs. PPP (public private partnerships).
Track 3: Election and Practical Experiences
Chairs: Martin-Rozumilowicz, Beata (Independent Electoral Expert, UK) and Spycher, Oliver (Swiss Federal Chancellery, Switzerland)
- Review developments in the area of applied electronic voting;
- Report on experiences with electronic voting or the preparation thereof (including reports on development and implementation, case law, court decisions, legislative steps, public and political debates, election outcomes, etc.);
These experiences and practical reports need not contain original research, but must be an accurate, complete, and, where applicable, evidence-based account of the technology or system used.
Track 4: Posters and Demonstrations
Chair: Kirsten, Michael (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany).
We invite Posters depicting new ideas or approaches you want to discuss with the community or summarizing papers you have published on other venues but think are important for the E-Vote-ID community to know and to discuss. A Short Paper (see section on paper submission and proceedings) is requested. If it relates to already published papers, we ask you to provide the information where to find the original publication and whether you want the Short Paper being included in the proceedings or not (due to potential copyright restrictions of the main paper).
Further, we invite demonstrations of electronic voting systems or parts thereof. We request a Short Paper describing the main properties (type of system local/remote; kind of elections the system is intended for, e.g. legally binding elections to parliament, non-political elections within associations etc: support for voters with disabilities; which security properties are fulfilled (incl. verifiability, voter privacy, etc.); how to receive further information about the system, e.g. where the source code is published).
Track 5: PhD Colloquium
Chairs: Debant, Alexandre (CNRS, France) and Passanti, Cecilia (Université Paris Cité, France)
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.
