Description

The problem that the Self -Enforcing Electronic Voting (SEEV) technology and proposed Spin Out company aims to address is a lack of "verifiability" in existing e-voting products in the commercial market. The proposal is to commercialize end-to-end (E2E) verifiable e-voting systems for real-world elections by the creation of a Spin Out company. E2E verifiability refers to the ability of voters to verify if their votes are cast-as-intended, recorded-as-cast, and for any interested party to publicly verify if all ballots are tallied-as-recorded, hence gaining confidence about the integrity of the whole election process.
