In the paper, the researchers examine voter confidence in a hybrid online voting system that combines the advantages of voting from home via the Internet with those of physical ballots, such as risk-limiting checks and verifiability.
Internet voting allows participation from anywhere and fast counting of votes, but at the cost of a loss of confidence among some citizens. The concept of hybrid Internet voting aims to give voters control over the correct processing of their votes cast online by physically printing them on paper or a 3D token in a way that can be observed by the voter via video transmission. The results of the study show that printing votes on paper in the presence of election officials can increase confidence in the voting process as it is as close as possible to the familiar process, while printing a 3D token is perceived as too lengthy.
The work is related to the ATHENE research area , which includes research on mental models and user trust in secure infrastructure solutions (such as Internet voting).
