Keeping ballot content confidential from the voter’s device to the ballot box.
End-to-end encryption refers to the two ends of an online ballot’s lifecycle: the voter’s device, and the digital ballot box.
This means that when a voter hits the “CAST” button on the online voting platform, the ballot is automatically encrypted directly on their device. From there, the encrypted ballot is sent over a secure network channel to the voting server where it is stored. The ballot will then remain encrypted until the end of the voting process.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
