Polling Stations Secure Scheme For e-Voting System in Indonesian General Election

The implementation of e-voting technology for election has been prevalent worldwide. There are 43 countries in the world implementing this technology, where some of those countries succeeded while the other found unsuccessful. The reason for the application of e-voting is mainly due to inefficient, insecure, and impractical nature of the conventional election system. It seems that technology is the only approach to solve the problem. There has been a lot of research on e-voting recently. Most studies assumed that the implementation of evoting is not merely about the technology, but it also relates to several critical factors such as the readiness of human resources and infrastructure, public trust, and others. In this paper, we propose the technology section of the e-voting, i.e., the polling station scheme, to make the e-voting system more efficient, secure, and practical. This study uses the case of Indonesian elections, with the hope proposed scheme can be a reference for the Indonesia Election Commission or other countries wanting to implement e-voting in the future.
