전자 선거는 세계 각국에서 이미 성공적으로 실시되고 있으며 많은 나라에서 이의 도입을 긍정적으로 검토하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 선거관리위원회를 중심으로 2005년 초 전자 선거 도입 일정을 발표하고 본격적으로 전자투표 시스템 개발에 박차를 가하고 있다. 대규모의 전자 선거 실시 경험이 전무한 우리나라에서는 외국의 실시 사례를 면밀히 분석하는 것이 무엇보다 중요한데, 미국에서 많이 사용되고 있는 AccuVote-TS 전자투표 시스템에 대한 안전성 분석 결과는 우리나라에 시사하는 바가 매우 크다고 할 수 있으며 우리나라의 전자투표 시스템 개발에 반드시 참고해야 할 내용이다. 또한, 전자투표에 대한 두 가지 큰 이슈인 오픈 소스 정책에 대한 장단점과 안전한 영수증 발급 방안에 대한 연구도 함께 진행해야 할 것으로 생각된다. 이를 위해 본 고에서는 AccuVote-TS 전자투표 시스템에 대한 안전성 분석 결과를 소개하고, 전자투표 시스템의 안전성과 신뢰성을 높이기 위한 방안으로 오픈 소스 정책과 영수증발급 방안에 대해 설명하여 향후 전자투표 시스템 개발 및 관련 연구 진행에 도움이 되고자 한다.

현실 세계에서 진행되는 투표는 시간과 공간이라는 자원들을 낭비하면서 진행이 된다. 그에 따른 보완책으로 온라인 투표 시스템을 제안할 수 있지만, 이 경우 데이터를 저장한 중앙 서버가 해킹당할 경우 데이터의 무결성 이 훼손되는 문제점을 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 블록체인 네트워크를 활용한 투표 시스템을 제안한다. 블록체인 투표 시스템을 응용하면 온라인으로 투표를 진행하여 시간과 공간이라는 자원을 절약할 수 있고 보안의 3요소 중 하나인 데이터의 무결성을 유지하여 투표 시스템의 투명성을 향상 킬 수 있다.

We have seen a lot of developments on computer application areas with the wide spread use of computers and the rapid growth of communication network. It is necessary to use a cryptographic technique for electronic voting, but, at present, despite of its importance electronic voting protocols so far have many shortcomings. In this paper, with the assumption of a trustable voting centers we propose a large-scale and practical electronic voting protocol satisfying protocol requirements, such as secureness, fairness, privacy of voter and correctness. Voters are able to get a vote without revealing their voted information by using the blinding technique. We can find the injustice between a voter and the tallier by using undeniable challenge and responsible protocol. Also, we proposes a secure protocol that compensates a integrity of electronic voting and protects a privacy of voter from outer attacks as using a anonymity of voter.

Electronic voting has been followed by a lot of research as it provides convenience to voters and increases participation rates. Nevertheless, electronic voting has not been widespread yet. The existing electronic voting system does not guarantee credibility, and there arises a question on the security that the voting could be forged or altered by the attack to the central server. In this paper, we proposed blockchain based systems to solve the problems in electronic voting. Although the blockchain may guarantee the security of transaction data, there have been only a few electronic voting systems implemented using the blockchain. We developed blockchain enabled voting and brought out some of its related legal, technical and operational challenges to enforce more security in voting. Unlike centralized voting, the systems could enforce security and solve the problems such as forgery or alteration of transaction data caused by hacking or any attempts to gain control of the central server system.

It requires a lot of costs and manpower to manage the election system. The electronic voting scheme is needed to make the election system to be economic and fair. Especially, wide spread use of smart phones and wireless networks makes the mobile voting is of major concern. In mobile voting scheme, a smart phone user can vote regardless of the places. In this paper, the mobile voting scheme is proposed where candidates can guarantee fairness of the election system. We analyze mobile voting requirements and create the mobile ID which has legal binding forces and PKI based digital signature keys. In the proposed scheme, a voter's ballot is signed by all candidates using undeniable multi-signature scheme. During the counting stage, the multi-signature on the ballot is not verified without help of all candidates.

This study aims to verify how trust in government leads voters' electoral participation with paying attention to their political orientations. In particular, this study takes voters' partisan consideration into account to examine different direction of the effect of trust in government on electoral participation depending on their ideology and partisan preferences. Key findings show that governmental trust has a positive influence on electoral participation for voters who have conformable ideological orientations to the incumbent government and positive preferences toward the ruling party. In contrast, distrust in government is more likely to increase the possibility of electoral participation for those who have different ideology from the incumbent, negative attitude toward the ruling party, and partisan preferences of the opposition party. Previous studies on the relationship between governmental trust and electoral participation have been mixed as yet. For the sake of explaining this inconclusiveness, this study focuses on partisan foundation of voters' political decision making. It contributes to our understanding of the political properties of governmental trust and its implications for representative democracy.

최근 전자투표 시스템에 대한 투표자의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 영수증을 발급하는 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 전자투표 영수증은 투표자가 자신이 투표한 결과가 최종집계에 올바르게 반영되었음을 확인할 수 있어야 하며, 매표 방지 기능도 함께 가지고 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 연구되었던 기술 중에서 일반 용지 및 프린터를 이용하여 검증 가능한 영수증을 발급하는 전자투표 시스템을 구현하고자 한다.

This article analyzes three major issues related to regional voting in South Korea. First, is regional voting a regional problem or an ideological problem? Second, is regional voting caused by regional identity or regional interest? Third, has regionalism waxed or waned? Analyses of the cumulative data set since the 15th presidential election yield the following results. First, Yongnam people are more conservative than Honam people. Second, regional voting consists of ideological and regional components. Third, there exist both a hometown effect and an abode effect in regional voting, but the latter is significantly greater than the former. Forth, regionalism had weakened between the 15th National Assembly election and the 16th Presidential election, but has not varied much since then.

전자투표시스템이 도입되었지만, 투표 과정에서 안정성 및 신뢰성 문제는 매번 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 보안 분야에서 주목받고 있는 블록체인 기술을 도입하여 위 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 블록체임 기술이란 기존의 서버-클라이언트 형태의 중앙 집중형이 아닌 P2P로 구현된 분산형 플랫폼을 제공하는 기술이다. 이를 활용해 다양한 분야에서 기반기술로써 사용될 수 있다. 데이터가 한 곳에 집중되는 것이 아닌 시스템에 참여한 모든 사용자가 동인한 데이터를 공유하기에 투명성, 공정성을 보증할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 특징을 활용한 블록체인 기반 전자투표시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 사용자가 시행한 투표와 관련된 정보를 블록으로 생성하여 모든 유권자에게 배포하며, 블록의 정당성을 검사한다. 또한, 사용자가 가진 블록체인을 분석하여 결과를 실시간으로 시각화한다.

As Internet voting can take place regardless of a voter's location, the participation rate of the voters would be increased and economic costs will be reduced. But the drawback of it is that all participants have to trust the election management server. If the server colludes with the specific candidate, the other candidates cannot prove rigged election. In addition, majority of researches on Internet voting are mainly focused on the voting restricted by the region and the country. Thus, it's not appropriate for the election in Internet community such as YouTube channels. As the Internet community is composed of members from all around the world, the new type of voting model is needed. In this study, we propose the smart contract based Internet voting model applicable on the blockchain network. The proposed smart contract model consists of candidate registration, voter registration, voting and counting stages. In the proposed model, anonymity of the voter is assured in the voter registration and voting stages, and all candidates can confirm the fairness of the election in the counting stage.
