It is a figure which shows an example of the flow of the process of accepting a vote in this embodiment. An example of different configurations of the voting management system in this embodiment is shown.

Hereinafter, the voting management system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiments shown below are examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various configurations can be adopted.

In this embodiment, the configuration and operation of a voting management system including a voting management server, a voting receiving device, a voter information storage device, and a voting information storage device will be described, but a voting management program and a voting management program record having the same configuration will be described. A medium or the like also has the same effect. By using this program recording medium, the program can be installed on a computer, for example. The series of processes according to the present embodiment described below are provided as a program that can be executed by a computer, and can be provided via a non-transient computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a flexible disk, and further via a communication line. be.

Each means of the voting management system and each step of the voting management method realize the same effect. Each means in each of the voting management system, the voting management program, and the voting management program recording medium is realized by an arithmetic unit such as a CPU. In addition, each step of the voting management method is also realized by the arithmetic unit.

In the description of the present embodiment, electronic voting means that a voter inputs and transmits voting contents such as elections through a communication Internet through a voting receiving device to vote. In the following description, the voting receiving device will be described as an embodiment in which a terminal device is installed at a designated polling place in election voting, but the voting receiving device may be a terminal device owned by a voter.

As shown in FIG. 1, the voting management system according to the present embodiment is embodied as a voting management system 1. The voting management system 1 includes a voting management server 2, a voter information storage device 3, a voting information storage device 4, a voting reception device 5, and an issuing device 6, and can communicate with each other via a communication network NW. It is configured in. The communication network NW is composed of an IP (Internet Protocol) network such as the Internet. In the following description, the intervention of the communication network NW will be omitted unless it becomes unclear. Further, in FIG. 1, only one voting receiving device 5 and one issuing device 6 are shown, but there are a plurality of each and they are installed at each polling place. Further, a plurality of voting receiving devices 5 and issuing devices 6 may be installed in one polling place.

FIG. 2 shows a hardware configuration diagram of the voting management server 2. The voting management server 2 has a data communication function, and has a computing device (CPU) 21, a main storage device (RAM) 22 as a working memory, and auxiliary storage such as an HDD, SSD, and flash memory as hardware components. It includes a device 23, a communication device 24 for communicating with an external device, and a bus 25 for connecting each component. Further, the auxiliary storage device 23 stores an operating system (OS) 26, a voting management program 27 that exerts its function in cooperation with the operating system 26, various information (including data), and the like.

The voting management server 2 has, as functional components to be described in detail later, a changing means 201 for changing the reception status of a voter at a polling place, a generating means 202 for generating authentication information used for voting, and voting with valid authentication information. A voting control means 203 that accepts input of a result is provided. Further, the CPU 21 in the voting management server executes a change step, a generation step, and a voting control step. The voter information storage device 3 for storing information about the voter is installed inside or outside the vote management server 2 and is configured to be capable of data communication with the vote management server 2. The voter information storage device 3 may be configured as a blockchain.

The voting management system 1 utilizes known blockchain technology in the authentication of voters and the management of voting results. The blockchain creates blocks to store data and concatenates the generated blocks. The blockchain stores a block common to a plurality of nodes constituting the blockchain, and monitors the data stored in the blocks between the nodes. As a result, the data stored in the blockchain is prevented from being tampered with, and a highly reliable voting management system is realized. In this embodiment, the blockchain is configured as a private blockchain. The private blockchain has a limited number of nodes and is composed of trusted nodes.

The voting information storage device 4 is a blockchain network composed of at least two or more nodes 41. Node 41 stores the blockchain BC. In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the voting information storage device 4 stores a voting result indicating a voting destination by a voter and does not include information that can identify the voter. The voting information storage device 4 takes as an example a configuration in which data is stored in the blockchain BC by acquiring a data storage request from the voting management server 2 via the communication network NW, but the communication network NW has an example. It may be configured to acquire the data storage request directly from the voting management server 2 without being connected.

In the present embodiment, the recording of data in the blockchain is performed via a "chain code" executed on the blockchain network system in the voting information storage device 4 (or the voter information storage device 3). In the present embodiment, when the voting management server 2 transmits a transaction data storage request, each node 41 constituting the blockchain network executes a chain code, verifies the processing result between the nodes, and the verification result is approved. As a result, data is written (stored) to the blockchain BC. The above-mentioned recording request is also called a transaction, and the history of each transaction is composed of a hash chain connection, so that data is stored in a form that is difficult to falsify. In the following description, it is assumed that the storage of data in the voting information storage device 4 is executed by the above-mentioned transaction.

FIG. 3 shows a hardware configuration diagram of the voting receiving device 5 according to the present embodiment. The voting receiving device 5 includes a computing device (CPU) 51, a main storage device (RAM) 52, an auxiliary storage device 53, a communication device 54, an input device 55 using a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, etc., a display, a speaker, and the like. A general-purpose computer device such as a personal computer, a smartphone, or a tablet terminal, which is provided with an output device 56 and a bus 57 for connecting each component, can be used. Further, the auxiliary storage device 53 stores the OS 58, the voting reception program 59, and the like. Further, the input device 55 includes a reading device capable of reading a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark). The voting reception device 5 is installed at a predetermined polling place, receives input of voting results from voters, and transmits the input results to the voting management server 2.

The issuing device 6 has the same hardware configuration as the voting receiving device 5, and a general-purpose computer can be used. The issuing device 6 is connected to a device such as a printer as an output device. In the present embodiment, the issuing device 6 issues a two-dimensional code that starts the voting process by having the voting receiving device 5 read it by printing it on a paper as a voting ticket. The voting ticket may be an IC card or the like in which an authentication code is stored.

Hereinafter, a voting management method using the voting management system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5. FIG. 4 shows an example of various data structures stored in the voter information storage device 3 and the voting information storage device 4. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of voting processing.

FIG. 4A shows an example of voter information stored in the voter information storage device 3. Voter information includes voter identification information to identify voters who are voters in elections, the voter's first and last name, date of birth, gender, address, and the constituency of the voter identified based on the address. , Have. The voting management server 2 acquires voter information from an external server (not shown) that stores basic resident information and the like, and transmits a storage request for voter information to the voter information storage device 3 (step S101). The voter information storage device 3 stores the voter information based on the storage request. The voter identification information is an ID or the like unique to the voter, and may be given by the voting management server 2 or may be an individual number or the like. Further, the voting management server 2 calculates a hash value based on one or more data (for example, name and date of birth) arbitrarily selected from the voter information, and identifies the calculated hash value as a voter. It may be information. In that case, the voting management server 2 stores the correspondence between the hash value and the data used for hashing in the voter information storage device 3. Further, the voting management server 2 may replace the data used for hash value conversion in the voter information with a hash value and store it.

The voting management server 2 determines whether the voter is a voter based on the date of birth and the address in the voter information acquired from the external server, and if the voter is a voter, gives a voter flag. The voting management server 2 may be configured to acquire only the voter information determined to be a voter and store it in the voter information storage device 3.

The voting management server 2 associates the voter identification information of the voter with the reception status of the voter specified by the voter identification information, and stores it in the voter information storage device 3. The reception status is a status indicating whether or not the voter at the polling place has completed the reception. If the reception is not completed, it is stored as "not yet", and if the reception is completed, it is regarded as "done". It will be remembered.

Next, an embodiment in which a voter visits a polling place and votes will be described. Voters visit the polling place with their voting postcards and identification verification cards. At the entrance to the polling place, the voter is subject to identity verification by the voting manager. The voting manager confirms the identity of the voter using an election list or the like, and transmits a reception request including the voter identification information of the voter to the voting management server 2 via the issuing device 6. The voter identification information may be printed on a voting postcard or the like with a two-dimensional code or the like, and the input device in the issuing device 6 may be configured to send the voter identification field to the voting management server 2 by reading the information. Further, the issuing device 6 acquires voter information from the voter information storage device 3, displays a list of voters on a display unit such as a display, and causes the vote manager to select a voter whose identity has been confirmed. The voter identification information corresponding to the selected voter may be transmitted to the vote management server 2.

The changing means 201 acquires a reception request including the voter identification information (step S102). The changing means 201 acquires the reception status of the voter specified by the acquired reception request from the voter information storage device 3, and if the acquired reception status is not yet, authenticates the reception request (step S103). If the reception request can be authenticated, the change means 201 changes the reception status to completed (step S104). If the acquired reception status has been completed in step S103, the changing means 201 does not authenticate the reception request as a duplicate vote, and ends the process.

When the reception request is authenticated in step S103, the generation means 202 stores the voting information by transmitting the request for generating the authentication information having an expiration date and not including the voter information to the voting information storage device 4. The device 4 generates and stores the authentication information (step S105). The authentication information includes an authentication ID uniquely generated in the reception request, a time stamp at the generated time, and an expiration date. The generation means 202 acquires the authentication information generated in the voting information storage device 4, associates the voting person identification information included in the reception request with the voting person information storage device 3, and stores the authentication information in the voting person information storage device 3 (step S106).

FIG. 4B shows an example of a data table showing the correspondence between the voter identification information, the reception status, and the authentication information stored in the voter information storage device 3. The expiration date of the authentication information may be either time or time. For example, when the time is set for the expiration date, the generation means 202 sets the time when the time set for the expiration date (for example, 30 minutes) elapses from the time stamp time when the authentication information is generated, and the time when the expiration date expires. Can be.

The voting management server 2 displays the authentication ID included in the generated authentication information as a two-dimensional code (authentication code), and transmits the display processing result to the issuing device 6 (step S107). The issuing device 6 prints the two-dimensional code as a voting ticket on paper and issues it based on the display processing result transmitted by the generation means 202. The voter receives the voting ticket and proceeds to the voting receiving device 5.

The voting reception device 5 acquires an authentication ID by reading the two-dimensional code printed on the voting ticket via the input device 55. The authentication ID may be printed on the voting ticket as a character string, and the voting receiving device 5 may be configured to acquire the authentication ID by accepting the input of the authentication ID by the voter. The voting receiving device 5 transmits a voting request including the authentication ID to the voting management server 2 based on the acquired authentication ID.

The voting control means 203 acquires a voting request including an authentication ID transmitted from the voting receiving device 5 (step S108). The voting control means 203 acquires the expiration date associated with the authentication information specified by the authentication ID from the voter information storage device 3, and determines that the current time does not exceed the time set by the expiration date. , Authenticate the voting request (step S109). When the voting request is authenticated, the voting control means 203 outputs a voting permission that allows the voter to input the voting result to the voting receiving device 5 that is the sender of the voting request (step S110).

If it is determined in step S109 that the current time exceeds the time set by the expiration date, the voting control means 203 does not accept the input of the voting result by the voting request and ends the process (authentication failure). .. If it is determined that the expiration date of the authentication information has been exceeded and the voting result has not been entered (voting status has not been entered), the changing means 201 associates the authentication information with the exceeded expiration date with the voter information storage. The reception status of the voter specified by the voter identification information stored in the device 3 is not changed. Further, the voting control means 203 releases the association between the authentication information and the voter identification information. As a result, for example, the voting ticket issued by the issuing device 6 can be taken out to reduce the risk of being illegally voted.

When the voting reception device 5 obtains the voting permission transmitted from the voting management server 2 in step S110, the voting receiving device 5 displays a voting screen (not shown) in which the voter inputs a voting destination via the output device 56. The voting screen includes, for example, a voting destination display unit that shows the name and photo of a candidate to be voted in an election, and a selection input unit that selects a candidate to be voted. The voting receiving device 5 accepts a vote by operating a selection input unit corresponding to an arbitrary candidate by a voter, and transmits a voting result and an authentication ID to the voting management server 2 (step S111). The voting receiving device 5 is configured to transmit the voting result and the authentication ID to the voting management server 2 by reading the two-dimensional code of the voting ticket again and acquiring the authentication ID in step S111.

The voting control means 203 accepts the input of the voting result and the authentication ID (step S111), and transmits the transaction data including the voting result and the authentication ID to the voting information storage device 4 (step S112). When the authentication ID generated in step S105 and the authentication ID included in the transaction data match, the voting information storage device 4 stores the voting result in the blockchain BC based on the transaction data. More specifically, the voting information storage device 4 generates a block for storing transaction data including a voting result and connects it to the blockchain BC. FIG. 4C shows an example of a data structure of voting information stored in the voting information storage device 4. Since the voting information storage device 4 does not store information that can identify the voter and only stores the voting result, high anonymity is ensured.

The voting control means 203 may be configured not to accept the voting result when the authentication IDs acquired in steps S108 and S111 do not match. As a result, it is possible to prevent the change of voters before and after the operation of the voting receiving device 5.

When the change means 201 accepts the input of the voting result and the authentication ID, the changing means 201 changes the voting status of the voter specified by the voter identification information stored in the voter information storage device 3 corresponding to the authentication ID to completed. (Step S113). It is preferable that the changing means 201 has a configuration in which the voting status is changed to completed, the reception status and the voting status are fixed, and the voting status cannot be changed again. Further, it is preferable that the changing means 201 is configured to release the association between the authentication information and the voter identification information in the voter information storage device 3 after changing the voting status to completed.

The voting management server 2 aggregates the cumulative total of voting results as the number of votes, and transmits transaction data including the aggregated results to the voting information storage device 4. The voting management server 2 aggregates the cumulative total for each voting destination as the number of votes, and transmits the transaction data including the aggregated result to the voting information storage device 4. The voting information storage device 4 stores the aggregation result in the blockchain BC based on the transmitted transaction data (step S114).

When the voting opening time has passed, the voting management server 2 acquires the number of votes and the number of votes obtained from the voting information storage device 4. Upon receiving the ballot counting request, the voting management server 2 transmits the acquired number of votes and the number of votes obtained to the sender of the ballot counting request (step S115). If the ballot counting time has not passed, the voting management server 2 does not transmit the number of votes and the number of votes obtained even if the ballot counting request is received. This makes it possible to provide a voting management system 1 that has anonymity and shortens the counting of votes.

Further, in the present embodiment, the issuing device 6 stores a polling place ID that identifies the polling place. The voting management server 2 stores in advance the polling place ID of a polling place where a specific voter can vote, in association with the voter information of the voters. The issuing device 6 transmits a reception request including the voter identification information and the polling place ID to the voting management server 2 at the time of reception. If the correspondence between the polling place identification information and the polling place ID is different from the one stored in advance, the voting management server 2 does not authenticate the reception request as a non-designated polling place.

FIG. 7 shows a system configuration example of the voting management system 10, which is a different embodiment of the voting management system. The voting management system 10 is a system capable of voting by a voting receiving device 5 owned by a voter individually, and does not require an issuing device 6 installed at a polling place. Hereinafter, the differences from the first embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, the voting receiving device 5 accepts the input of information related to the personal authentication of the voter. In the present embodiment, the information related to personal authentication corresponds to the voter identification information in the first embodiment. For personal authentication, various means such as biometric authentication and input of personal number can be used. The voting reception device 5 transmits a reception request including the result of personal authentication to the voting management server 2. If the reception status of the voter specified by the result of personal authentication is not yet, the change means 201 authenticates the reception request and changes the reception status to completed.

Further, the generation means 202 generates authentication information having an expiration date, and passes the authentication ID included in the authentication information to the voting receiving device 5. The voting reception device 5 displays a voting screen, accepts input of the acquired authentication ID and voting result via the voting screen, and transmits the input to the voting management server 2. When the voting control means 203 determines that the expiration date associated with the authentication ID is not exceeded, it accepts the voting result and transmits a storage request to the voting information storage device 4 based on the transaction data including the voting result. Then, memorize the voting result. Further, the changing means 201 has an expiration date that has exceeded the expiration date, and if the voting result is not input, the reception status is changed to not yet. As a result, for example, even if a problem occurs in the communication between the voting receiving device 5 and the voting management server 2 and the voting cannot be performed within the expiration date, the voting right of the voter is not lost.
