Forum Post: Make Elections Transparent and Verifiable

In order to have a functional democracy, we need to have faith in our election process. While the vast majority of election workers are honest, accidents happen, votes are lost, and, when even a small number of officials are corrupt or inept, it can sway the outcome of an election. Fortunately, great strides have been made in election technology toward transparency and verifiability. If each voter receives an encrypted receipt, every vote can be published publicly while still maintaining voter privacy, any independent party can tally the results to verify the outcome, and votes can't be lost, stolen, or changed since each voter can electronically verify that their receipt matches their vote.
