Description

The invention relates to computer technology, in particular to an automated system of remote electronic voting of citizens during elections and referenda.

In connection with the rapid development of information technologies and telecommunications, the issue of electronic voting has matured and stood on the agenda all over the world. Today there is no doubt about the need to continue working on electronic voting systems. The question is not whether electronic voting is necessary, but how to prepare and optimally put it into practice.

“Electronic voting” is a term that defines various types of voting, covering both electronic means of voting and electronic means of counting votes.

Electronic voting technologies may include punch cards, optical scanning systems, and specialized voting terminals. They may also include the transmission of ballots and votes by telephone, private computer networks or the Internet.

The peculiarity of the task lies in the fact that with electronic remote voting, the problem of “transparency of voting” arises, both taking into account the number of actually voted citizens and visually monitoring the current results of citizens' voting for specific deputies.

Indeed, observers present at the polling station, by remote electronic voting, do not see those citizens who previously came to the polling station using paper ballots and therefore require real-time data on the number of voters who voted.

In addition, the electronic voting system should also provide for the calculation of the current voting results for the respective candidates in the real voting mode of citizens.

Known systems that could be used to solve the problem (1, 2).

The first of the known systems contains data reception and storage units connected to control and data processing units, search and selection units connected to data storage and display units, the synchronizing inputs of which are connected to the outputs of the control unit (1).

A significant drawback of this system is the impossibility of solving the problem of updating data stored in memory in the form of relevant documents at the same time as solving the problem of delivering the contents of these documents to users in real time.

Another system is known that contains a module for selecting addresses of voters 'register entries in the database of the system server, a module for determining the time cycle of selecting records of voters' register, a module for generating addresses for writing and reading records of voters 'registers, a module for setting processing modes of voters' input messages, a module for receiving database records system server voters register, voter re-voting identification module, first electronic digital signature identification module a sponsor, a second voter electronic digital signature identification module, a module for receiving a voting ballot from a system server database, a data switching module, a module for integrating stop signals of a voting procedure (2).

The last of the above technical solutions is closest to the described.

Its drawback lies in the limited functionality of the system, due to the fact that in the process of remote voting of citizens the system does not provide either the members of the election commission or representatives of the public and political parties who monitor the process of voting at the polling station with the possibility of fixing the total number of citizens who voted, as well as the number of votes cast for the respective candidates in real time.

The purpose of the invention is the expansion of the functionality of the system by counting both the total number of voters who participated in the vote at a given time and the count of the number of votes cast for the respective candidates at a given time

The system operates as follows.

Before the start of the election campaign, the lists of citizens eligible to vote are prepared and verified at the precinct election commissions, and the voters database (register) is stored on the basis of these lists and stored in the system database server.

The content of the attributes of the records of the register of voters of the database includes the following attributes of the voter, referendum participant: last name, first name, patronymic, gender, address of residence, address of arrival (for a voter arriving from another subject of the Russian Federation), address of departure, place of birth, type and place of issue of identity document, citizenship, legal capacity.

Each voter wishing to take part in remote electronic voting sends to the precinct election commission (at the place of registration of the voter) a codogram - a statement (message) in the form of an electronic document in which he indicates the number code of the precinct election commission, his identification data (last name, first name , patronymic and passport data), an electronic certificate of the public key of the voter and announces his desire to vote.

The structure of the electronic document representing the codogram — the voter’s statement, will be as follows:

The code The code The code The code room Identification Electronic precinct voter
no commission voter data voter public key certificate Request for a ballot

The specified codogram is fed to the information input 15 of the system and then to the information input of the register 40 of module 1, and the synchronization pulse from the input 18 of the system to the synchronization input of the register 40, the codes of the codogram are entered in the register 40.

The received codogram is displayed on the system administrator’s monitor, which from the keyboard of the control panel of the workstation (not shown in the drawing) gives a command to check the voter’s rights to participate in this vote by pressing the “Check Voter Rights” key, the signal from which is input to system 23.

The code of the first three initial letters of the surname, name, patronymic of the voter from the output 57 of the register 40 goes to the input of the decoder 41. The decoder 41 decodes the code of this letter combination, giving out one of its outputs high potential. For definiteness, we assume that a high potential is received at one input of element 42 I.

In parallel with this, the clock pulse from the input 23 of the system goes to one of the inputs of elements 42-44 AND, interrogating the states of these elements. Considering the fact that only the And element 42 will be open at the second input, then, after passing through this element, the clock pulse arrives, firstly, at the read input of a fixed memory cell of a read-only memory device (ROM) 45, where the base address of the server memory zone is recorded, which stores all records of voters having the same code combination of the initial letters of the surname, name and patronymic, and the number of such records.

The structure of the record in the ROM memory cell is as follows:

THE CODE THE CODE base address server memory area, which stores all the records with a given voter codeword initial letters F amyl, and Meni, O tchestva records the number of voters having the same codeword of the initial letters F amil, and Meni, O tchestva

The contents of the fixed memory cell ROM 45 is read to the outputs 50 and 51, respectively.

Secondly, the same clock pulse passes through the OR element 46 and is delayed by the delay element 47 for the duration of reading the contents of the fixed ROM cell and then goes to the output 55.

Codes of the base address from the output 50 of module 1 through the input 70 of module 2 are supplied to the information input of the counter 65, and the code of the number of records with the specified combination of initial letters of the last name, first name, middle name from the output 51 of module 1 is transmitted through the input 71 of module 2 to the information input of register 61 .

The clock pulse from the output 55 of the module 1, arriving at the clock input 72 of the module 2, the codes of the base address of the code combination and the number of such entries in the server database are entered in the counter 65 and the register 61 of the module 2, respectively.

As a result of this operation, the first recording address of that memory zone of the database server will be set, from which records of voters' personalities begin with a given code combination of the initial letters of the surname, name, patronymic.

The same synchronization pulse from input 72 of module 2 passes through element 66 OR, is delayed by element 68 for the duration of counter 65 operation and then is output to system output 31, from where it arrives at the first interrupt channel of the system database server.

By this signal, the server switches to the subroutine for reading the data record of the voter from the database of the server of the system and issuing it to the information input 16 of module 5.

The structure of the codogram of the recording of voter data received in module 5 has the following form:

The code The code The code Voter Identity Electronic digital signature of the voter from the databank of electronic certificates of public keys Voting Mark

From the output 101 of module 5, the voter identification data from the record read from the system server database is fed to the information 94 input of module 3 and then to the input of the comparator 85, to the information 93 input of which output 52 of module 1 is supplied with the voter identification details of which must be found in the system server database.

At the same time, the synchronizing pulse from the input 19 of the system goes to the input 96 of the module 3, is delayed by the delay element 91 for the time the code is entered in register 5 and then goes to the synchronizing input of the comparator 85. If the voter identification data at the inputs 93 and 94 of the comparator 85 do not match, then the comparator 85 generates a signal at the output 97.

From the output 97 of the comparator 85, the signal is fed to the input 73 of the module 2 and then to the counting input of the counter 62, which records the fact of reading the first record from the system server database.

The readings of the counter 62 go to one input of the comparator 63, the other input of which receives the total number of records in the server database with a given alphabetic combination from the output of the register 61. According to the pulse from the input 73 of module 2, delayed by the element 64 for the time of operation of the counter 62, the comparator 63 compares the readings of the counter 62 and the register 61.

Given that at this point in time the readings of the counter 62 are much less than the readings of the register 61, the comparator 63 generates a signal at the first output of the comparator 63, which is connected to the counting input of the counter 65. As a result, the output address 30 of the module 2 sets the read address of the next voter data record.

In addition, the same synchronizing pulse passes through the OR element 66, then it is delayed by the element 68 for the duration of the counter 65 operation and is output to the system output 31, from where it again goes to the input of the first interrupt channel of the database server.

By this signal, the server again switches to the subroutine for reading the contents of the next memory cell, the address of which is issued to the address output 30 of the system and writing its contents to module 5 from the information input of the system 16 by a synchronizing pulse supplied to the input 19 of the system.

The process of selecting the voter identification data and comparing it with the comparator 85 of module 3 will continue until the comparator 85 detects the fact that the input codes coincide with the formation of a pulse at its other output, from which the pulse goes to the counting input of the counter 86, fixing the fact of the presence of the voter in the database system server data.

If such a coincidence does not occur after viewing all the database records with a given code combination of last name, first name and patronymic, then the output 74 of module 2 generates a signal recording the fact of the absence of registration of this citizen in the precinct election commission. This signal from the output 74 of the module 2 is fed to the input 115 of the module 6 and then issued to the output 35, signaling the termination of the voting procedure of this voter.

The readings of the counter 86, which recorded the fact of the presence of a voter in the database of the system, are fed to the input of the decoder 87, which decrypts the readings of the counter 86 and opens the 88 And element with one potential at its first output. At the other input of the element 88 And a pulse is received from the output of the delay element 92, which delays the pulse of the comparator 85 for the duration of the counter 86 operation.

From the output of element 88 AND, the pulse arrives at the synchronizing input of the comparator 84, on one input 95 of which a mark code is received indicating that this voter has already participated in the current voting. The mark code can take two values: 0 - the voter did not participate in the current vote, 1 - the voter participated in the vote. At the other input of the comparator 84, a zero potential corresponding to code 0 is received. If the voter makes an attempt to re-participate in the voting, then there will be different potentials at the inputs of the comparator 84, and a signal will appear at the output 83, fixing the fact of the attempt to re-vote. This signal from the output 83 of the module 3 is fed to the input 116 of the module 6 and through the element 14 OR is issued to the output 35, signaling the termination of the voting procedure of this voter.

If the voter has not yet participated in the current voting, then at both inputs of the comparator 84 there will be the same potential corresponding to code 0, and at output 33 a signal will be generated that goes to the input of the third channel of the database server interrupt.

By this signal, the database server switches to the subroutine for preparing the ballot paper, certifying it with an electronic digital signature of the chairman of the precinct election commission and issuing it to the voter who has sent his request to participate in the remote electronic voting.

The structure of this codogram is as follows:

The code The code The code The code The code Polling station number
no commission Voter Identity Ballot paper
Issue time EDS of the chairman of the precinct election commission Interval during which the voter must vote

This codogram from the output of the database server goes to the information 17 input of the module 7 for receiving the generated codograms, where it is entered by the synchronizing pulse of the database server, which goes to the synchronizing 20 input of the module 7. From the output of 120 module 7, the codogram of the ballot goes to the information 131 input of the module 10 , to address 132 the input of which receives the electronic address of the voter from the output 54 of module 1.

From input 131, this codogram passes through elements 123 AND groups open at the second input with high potential from the inverse output of trigger 121, which is in the initial state, then passes elements 127 OR groups and goes to the inputs of elements 124-126 OR groups. The decoder 120 of the module 10 decrypts the address code of the voter and opens that group of elements 124-126 And, which corresponds to the address of the voter for electronic voting.

The signal from the database server coming from input 20 to input 133 of module 8 and delayed by element 128 while the codogram is entered into module 7, the codogram of the ballot is sent to the voter.

In addition, the system administrator enters into the account, located in the register of module 5, information that the voter is provided with a voting ballot and the time interval during which he must realize his will and by pressing the key to save the record in the voters database, forms recording signal. This signal from the input 23 of the system through the element 13 OR enters through the output 32 of the module 6, is issued to the input of the second channel of the interruption of the database server.

By this signal, the database server switches to the subroutine for entering the voter account from the output of module 100 at the same address of the database server at which it was found and read.

A voter, having received an electronic voting ballot from a polling station, fills it out within a specified time interval, signs it with his electronic digital signature (EDS) and sends the voting ballot to the precinct election commission in the form of an electronic document having the following structure:

After the precinct election commission receives the codogram of the voting ballot filled out by the voter, the authenticity of the EDS on the voting ballot is checked at the polling station using the electronic public key certificate stored in the voter data record in the system server database.

To this end, the recording of the voter data from the system server database to module 5 is again called as described above.

The difference of this stage from the previous one consists only in the fact that after the repeated call of the record of the voter data from the database of the system server, the counter 86 of module 3 will record the fact of the second call of the record of the voter data.

The decoder 87 on the new reading of the counter 86 will open another element 89 And, through which the pulse from the output of the delay element 92 passes to the output 98 of the module 3.

From the output 98 of module 3, this signal passes to the synchronizing input 113 of the comparator 11 of module 6, to one information input 111 of which the EDS code of the voter comes from the output 53 of module 1, and the code of the electronic certificate of the public key from the output 103 of module 5 is fed to the other information input 112 If the codes of the electronic digital signatures did not match, then a signal is generated at the second output of the comparator AND that fixes the fact of the mismatch of the signatures, which is transmitted through the OR element 14 to the signal output 35 of the system.

If the codes of electronic digital signatures coincide, then at the first output of the comparator 11 a signal is generated confirming the authenticity of the voter's signature. This signal, firstly, passes through the element 13 OR module 6 and then issued to the input of the second channel interrupt server database system.

With the arrival of this signal, the server switches to the subroutine for recording the voting result sent by the voter to the address of the voter data recording installed on the address output 30 of the system.

Secondly, the signal from the first output of the comparator 11 through the output 34 of the system is input to the fourth channel of the interruption of the database server. With the arrival of this signal, a program for generating and assigning a unique personal identifier to the voter who has voted is launched.

The result of the program in the form of a unique personal identifier is issued to the automated workstation of the system administrator, and the system administrator enters it from the keyboard into register 40 of module 1, forming a codogram – receipt in the form of an electronic document having the following structure:

The code The code The code The code The code The code The number of the precinct election commission Voter Identity UPI assigned to the voter Voting result EDS of the chairman of the precinct election commission The time interval during which a receipt must be provided

By supplying a control signal from the input 22 of the system to the input 134 of the module 10, the system administrator sets the trigger 121 to a single state, in which elements 122 And groups of one input are opened with a high potential from a single output, the other inputs of which receive the generated code-receipt from output 25 module 1 through the input 130 of module 10.

Codes of the codogram-receipt pass through elements 122 AND groups, elements 127 OR groups, and then are fed to the inputs of elements 124-126 OR groups. However, only one of them, corresponding to the electronic address of the voter, will be open to decoder 20.

The signal for issuing the codogram - receipt is received from the input 20 of the system through the input 133 of module 8 to the third inputs of elements 124-126 AND, providing the issuance of an electronic document to the voter.

The voter, having received the codogram-receipt, verifies the authenticity of the electronic digital signature on the receipt using the electronic data bank of electronic certificates of electronic digital signature keys and the correctness of the information provided in the receipt, and, if there are no errors in the text of the receipt, sends it to the precinct election commission within a specified time interval an electronic receipt document, signed with the help of his electronic digital signature, in which the voter confirms his participation in the vote and the result of the vote, without indicating how he voted, and also confirms the correctness of the information contained in the receipt.

The structure of the electronic document-voter receipt is as follows:

After the precinct election commission receives the codogram-receipt, which is transmitted through the information input 15 to the input of the register 40 of module 1, the voting data record of this voter is again called from the system server database and its electronic digital signature is verified using module 6.

One digital input 111 of module 6 receives an EDS code from the output 53 of module 1, and another information input 112 receives a code of an electronic certificate of a public key of an electronic digital signature, and a pulse from output 99 of module 3 is received at a synchronizing input 114. comparator 12, a signal is generated, which, having passed the element 13 OR, from the output 32 of the system is issued to the input of the second channel of the database server interrupt. With the arrival of this signal, the server switches to the recording routine of the codogram-receipt sent by the voter to the address of the voter data recording installed on the address output 30 of the system.

Unlike the well-known technical solution, the system provides a real-time tracking of the number of voters who have voted, for which, each time a codogram is received, a receipt of the result of the vote, the signal from input 22 of the system goes to the counting input of counter 4, which incrementally records the number of voters who accepted voting at a given time.

The readings of counter 4 from output 36 are displayed on the collective display panel, allowing observers to record voter activity in real time.

In addition, from the output 25 of module 1, the code with the result of the voter’s voting from the codogram – receipt is sent to the information input 81 of the register 75 of module 9, to the synchronizing 82 input of which a signal is received from the input 22 of the system and enters the encoded voting result into the register 75.

The encoded voting result of the voter is input to the decoder 76, which decrypts the received result and, depending on the input code, opens the corresponding element 77-79 AND, the other input of which receives a synchronizing pulse from input 82, delayed by element 80 for the duration of the operation of register 75 and decoder 76 .

Suppose that 77 And element is open at one input, then the And 77 element passes from the output of delay element 80 and the output 56 of module 9 goes to the counting input 117 of counter 11 of module 10, fixing all the votes cast for the corresponding candidate.

The number of counters in module 10 corresponds to the number of candidates, and the readings of the counters will correspond to the number of votes cast for the respective candidates.

The readings of the counters 11-13 of the module 10 through the outputs 37-39 of the system are also issued on the collective display panel in real time, allowing for the issuance of the final voting results in real time.

Thus, the introduction of new modules made it possible to significantly expand the functionality of the system by counting both the total number of voters who participated in the vote at a given time and the count of the number of votes cast for the respective candidates at a given time.
