[$] Belenios: a system for secret voting

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/887077/

As part of the recent discussion on switching
to secret voting
for Debian general resolutions (GRs), which has
resulted in a ongoing GR of its own, the
subject of voting systems that embody various attributes some would like to
see for voting in Debian has been brought up. One of the systems mentioned, Belenios, provides an
open-source “verifiable online voting system“. Whether or not
Debian chooses to switch to secret voting, Belenios would seem to provide what
other projects or organizations may be looking for as a mechanism to handle
their voting needs.
