Özet:

 

There are several electronic voting systems proposed in the literature either paper-based method,
 using voter’s computer and internet or direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting machine. These
 systems aim to satisfy the security properties like voter privacy, receipt-freeness, anonymity,
 verifiability, reliability, and usability. Besides, they mainly focus on the ballot tallying in order to
 solve the first conflict by achieving voter privacy and verifiability simultaneously. The most
 popular systems are based on homomorphic cryptosystems and mix-nets. These cryptographic evoting
 schemes require all voters to have an advanced knowledge of mathematics. This
 requirement may not be realistic for many of the ordinary voters. Some suggestions require voters
 to indicate their intent to some voting devices (e.g. DRE machines). Prêt à Voter scheme, which is
 invented by Peter Ryan, is also another type of electronic voting scheme which is similar to paperbased
 systems. Although its backend uses advanced cryptographic mechanisms it is simple to
 understand for any ordinary voters. In the Prêt à Voter scheme all ballot forms are generated by
 some election authorities in advance under the supervision of some audits. So, the authorities have
 the ability to read the voter’s choice directly from their receipts.
 In this paper, we first describe the Prêt à Voter scheme and its cryptographic primitives. Next, we
 investigate the efficiency and the cost-effectiveness of referendums in Turkey by providing a casestudy
 of the Prêt à Voter scheme. We conclude the paper by proposing the possible improvements
 and suggestions for Turkish elections.
