Should Belenios (of which I am upstream) be chosen, I think some adaptations (and plumbing) will be needed. In Debian, every voter has a GPG key... This could be leveraged to simplify things while retaining other security properties. In Belenios, the primary voting interface is web-based, but its design allows for other interfaces. For example, there exists a command-line tool to create ballots, that can be submitted by whatever means to an election board. There is also the notion of "trustee", a person who is in charge of keeping a share of the secret key used to decrypt ballots. The Secretary comes to mind, but ideally there should be several independent trustees (maybe the Technical Committee?). But maybe we should wait for the principle of secret ballots to be adopted before discussing implementation details... Cheers, -- Stéphane
