Rapid world-wide growth in Internet and Web use has stimulated many initiatives aimed at applying information and
communication innovations to create what has been called a ?digital? of ?electronic democracy?. Over the last years, the
field of secure voting schemes has attracted much attention from researchers. Since many security requirements are
involved, some of them are contradictory, there exists no obvious universal solution. This paper aims to provide a secure
electronic voting scheme for multi-candidate elections in national and local authorities where the set of voters is
predefined. The key concept introduced is the theoretical aspect of ?Physical Multiple Administration (PMA)? which in
combination with the ?Identical Ballot Boxes (IBB)? technique empowers the security of the system. The IBB system
aims at offering guarantees in terms of legitimacy, security anonymity and secrecy in the voting and tallying processes.
The voting scheme has been developed taking into consideration the Greek legislation and the organizational details of
currently applicable voting procedures.
