E-Vote Features

• The system is open source and anybody can check the source code. The code is small and written in the Python language. This makes it easy for professionals in the field to check it.
• The system can run as a service and one installation can run mutiple elections. Anybody can login into the system, create a new election, register voters and managers, and customize the ballot using an easy to use WYSIWYG interface.
• The system communicates with voters and managers by email.
• Voters do not need to login into the system to vote. They only need to click on the link in the notification email, fill a web form and submit.
• Each voter can only vote once per election.
• Results are computed automatically at closing of the election and published.
