Electronic voting system (1) and method for collecting and counting votes from individual voters using electronic polling equipment (20). The system (1) comprises means (15) for validating votes from collected virtual ballot forms (27). The validating means (15) are arranged in such way that if a set of two or more virtual ballot forms (27) associated with an identical voter is collected, one virtual ballot form (27) of said set is validated as one valid vote of said voter. The remaining virtual ballot forms (27) of said set are marked as duplicate, provided said virtual ballot forms (27) of said set are identical as to the subject elected by said voter. Otherwise all virtual ballot forms (27) of said set are marked invalid. Thereby effectively preventing double counting of valid votes, among others, due to network problems causing a virtual ballet form (27) to be forwarded twice or even many more times.
L'invention porte sur un système de vote électronique (1) et sur un procédé permettant de recueillir et de compter les votes de chaque votant au moyen d'un matériel de vote électronique (20). Ce système (1) comprend des moyens (15) de validation des votes des bulletins de vote virtuels recueillis (27). Ces moyens de validation (15) sont disposés de manière que si un ensemble d'au moins deux bulletins de vote virtuels (27) associés à un votant identique est recueilli, un bulletin virtuel (27) dudit ensemble est validé en tant que vote valide du votant. Les autres bulletins virtuels (27) de l'ensemble sont marqués en tant que duplicata, à condition que les bulletins virtuels (27) dudit ensemble soient identiques en termes de sujet élu par le votant. Autrement, tous les bulletins virtuels (27) de l'ensemble sont frappés d'invalidation, ce qui permet d'empêcher efficacement le double comptage des votes valides dû, entre autres, à des problèmes de réseau qui provoquent la double transmission, ou plus, du bulletin de vote virtuel (27).
