The ID issue management unit 91 manages IDs and passwords issued to voters who vote via the voter terminal 4. When there is an access request from the voter terminal 4, the information disclosure unit 93 authenticates this access using this ID and password. The voter terminal 4 can input data on the data input screen after being authenticated.

  Furthermore, the information disclosure unit 93 authenticates only the terminal having a specific MAC address, so that the terminals used for voting can be limited to improve the security of the voting system. Thus, by authenticating the access from the voter terminal 4 by the terminal ID including the MAC address, the voter terminal 4 can be made a dedicated terminal for voting that allows data entry on the data entry screen.

  The same authentication can be performed for the recipient terminal 5 which is a browsing terminal. That is, the ID issuance management unit 91 of the voting management system 9 manages the ID and password issued to the recipient who wants to view the total result display screen via the recipient terminal 5. When the information disclosure unit 93 authenticates the browsing access via the receiver terminal 5 with this ID and password, the ID and password issued by the voting management body, for example, who can access the counting result display screen from the receiver terminal 5 are displayed. It can be limited to information recipients to be held.
