由于各种担忧和问题，电子投票技术和系统尚未被社会广泛接受和部署。与许多现有电子投票技术相关的一个特殊问题是缺乏透明度，导致无法提供选民保证。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个可保证、透明且相互约束的电子投票协议，该协议利用了美国现有的两党政治动态。拟议的电子投票协议由三项原创技术贡献组成：通用可验证投票向量、前向和后向互锁投票以及过程中检查和执行，这些技术结合起来解决了投票中的明显冲突，例如匿名与问责、隐私与可验证性等。特别是，信任在利益冲突且技术上相互制约的统计机构之间平分。投票和计票过程对选民和任何第三方都是透明的，这允许任何选民验证他的选票确实被计入，也允许任何第三方审核计票结果。
E-voting techniques and systems have not been widely accepted and deployed by society due to various concerns and problems. One particular issue associated with many existing e-voting techniques is the lack of transparency, leading to the failure to deliver voter assurance. In this work, we propose an assurable, transparent, and mutual restraining e-voting protocol that exploits the existing two-party political dynamics in the US. The proposed e-voting protocol consists of three original technical contributions - universal verifiable voting vector, forward and backward mutual lock voting, and in-process check and enforcement - that, in combination, resolves the apparent conflicts in voting such as anonymity vs. accountability and privacy vs. verifiability. Especially, the trust is split equally among tallying authorities who have conflicting interests and will technically restrain each other. The voting and tallying processes are transparent to voters and any third party, which allow any voter to verify that his vote is indeed counted and also allow any third party to audit the tally.
