A facility for conducting a coercion-resistant electronic collection is described. The facility receives from the voter a first voter conformation value. At a later time, the facility receives from the voter an encrypted ballot and a second voter confirmation value. Without regard for the value of the received second voter confirmation value, the facility adds the received ballot to a publicly-available list of cast ballots. After the addition, members of the public are able to verify the addition of the received ballot to the list without being able to determine whether the ballot will be counted. The facility counts the ballot if and only the second voter confirmation value received with the ballot matches the received first voter confirmation value.

L'invention concerne un équipement permettant de réaliser un recueil électronique sans contrainte. Cet équipement reçoit du votant une première valeur de confirmation de votant. Plus tard, l'équipement reçoit du votant un bulletin chiffré et une seconde valeur de confirmation de votant. Sans prendre en compte la valeur de la seconde valeur de confirmation de votant reçue, l'équipement ajoute le bulletin reçu dans une liste publiquement disponible de bulletins déposés. Après cet ajout, les membres du public peuvent vérifier l'ajout du bulletin reçu dans la liste sans être capables de déterminer si le bulletin sera compté. Cet équipement permet de compter le bulletin seulement si la seconde valeur de confirmation de votant reçue avec le bulletin correspond à la première confirmation du votant reçue.
