Ensuring the accuracy of the final tally.
After votes are recorded by the voting server and the election ends, the ballots are mixed, decrypted, and tallied. Though these processes happen in a matter of minutes in an online election, auditing them is still vital. This verification is known as counted-as-recorded verifiability.
Since these processes happen digitally, auditing them is best done with zero-knowledge proofs. These are cryptographic mathematical formulas that prove the accuracy of the mixing and decrypting processes without disclosing sensitive information. With this confirmation that votes were mixed and decrypted properly, auditors can verify the accuracy of the tally and final count.

- The new online voting model was implemented to help streamline both voting and the counting of votes. The new processes have especially benefited members of the cooperative residing deep in the countryside of Minas Gerais as it allowed them to vote from the comfort of their home or office.
- Security and privacy are paramount. We felt that Scytl's online voting security features met the needs of our municipality. Scytl's international experience in binding elections in complex jurisdictions also factored heavily into our decision to partner with them for the 2014 Municipal Elections.
- iVote means that I can vote anonymously like everybody else. It means independence, it means being sure that my voice has been heard and that my vote counted.
- Scytl [Online Voting] was successfully utilized at the Board of Directors and Credit Committee Elections during April 2016. Scytl consistently exceeded our expectations by providing us with the highest level of service throughout the project. I strongly recommend Scytl for any such future projects.
- We evaluated Scytl’s online voting option based on the following criteria: ease of use, flexibility, speed, process and turn-around time for providing the auditor the necessary reports. Scytl’s online voting solution 100% met these requirements during our evaluation. This election went very well. As a result, the DGC is now strongly considering replacing all paper ballot elections with online voting during future AGM elections.
