Electronic voting is a wicked problem: voters must only vote once, voting must be auditable, and votes must be permanently preserved—but they must also be anonymous. We examine the source code of a paperless Direct Recording Electronic voting system and find serious integrity and privacy issues. Those issues were reported to the relevant authorities and patched, but the underlying design issues remain.

Electronic voting is a wicked problem: voters must only vote once, voting must be auditable, and votes must be permanently preserved—but they must also be anonymous. We examine the source code of a paperless Direct Recording Electronic voting system and find serious integrity and privacy issues. Those issues were reported to the relevant authorities and patched, but the underlying design issues remain.
