2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the election of members of the Diet, prefectural governors, members of the Diet, municipalities, and members of the Diet, based on the Public Offices Election Act, electors use postcards that are mailed by local governments when they vote. Bring to the permanent polling place. Then, at the reception of the polling place, based on the name and address, the electoral list is used to confirm whether the elector has the right to vote or whether there is an unvoted election. Then, the ballots will be distributed to the electors who have determined that there is no problem in acceptance. The elector who receives this writes the name of the candidate, for example, on the ballot paper at the voting place and posts the ballot in the ballot box. After that, ballot boxes are collected at facilities such as gymnasiums,
The vote counting work is carried out by human tactics, and the voting results are totaled.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional voting in the election, OA has hardly progressed in a series of work including reception, voting, and counting, and efficient management has been desired. Furthermore, in conventional elections, the ledger confirmation of the electoral list at the time of reception cannot be done at polling stations other than the domicile polling place, and electors who can not actually vote such as elections purposely do absentee voting. This had to be done, which was also a factor in the decline in the voting rate.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and promotes OA in a series of operations including reception, voting, and counting in elections, and from a polling place other than the domicile polling place. Even with the aim of providing an electronic voting system with high operability and reliability that allows voting, a conventionally used ballot paper or a token that means that the elector has the right to hold an election It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic voting system excellent in economic efficiency that does not require a storage medium called.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention relates to electoral information input means for inputting electoral information for identifying an elector, and electoral list storage in which electoral information including an elector's voting history is confirmed. Means, determining means for determining whether or not the electoral information input from the electoral information input means indicates a domicile of a permanent domicile, and electoral information input from the electoral information input means and the electoral list. A means for comparing the electoral information stored in the storage means to check the electoral list, and a reception terminal device equipped with personal information input means for inputting personal information for specifying the individual elector ,at least,
A voting terminal device provided with a personal information input means for inputting personal information for identifying an individual elector, and when the elector information acquired by the judgment means does not indicate a domicile Requests a check of the electoral list to the domicile polling place. If the domicile is a domicile polling place, it checks the electoral list in its own device, and the individual entered from the personal information input means of the reception terminal device. The voting processing information stored in the voting processing information storage means is transmitted to the voting terminal device that has input personal information that matches the information.

[0006]

[Function] According to such a configuration, since the permanent polling place is determined from the electoral information obtained from the elector, it is possible to vote from another polling place other than the permanent polling place. Since the voting process information for voting based on the personal information for identifying each person is transmitted to the voting terminal device, a storage medium called a token which means that it has the right to hold an election. Need not be, and prevent others from voting in their place.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In explaining the operation, the case where the polling place visited by the elector is a permanent polling place and the case where the polling place is not so will be described respectively.

Further, in this embodiment, when the system is activated at each polling place, the voting software stored in the voting software master storage unit 22a of the voting server 20a is stored in each voting terminal device 30a, 40a, 50a. Each is sent. After performing the initialization process, each voting terminal device waits for the voting software to be received. Then, the voting processing state is entered based on the received voting software.

Further, when voting is performed based on voting software other than the polling place A, the corresponding voting terminal device may be initialized once and the device may be restarted by the downloaded voting software. In addition, the basic flow of voting processing was standardized, part of the data such as guidance information presented to electors was registered as voting software to be transferred to another polling place, and this voting software was received. In the voting terminal, the data of the non-common part of the voting software that has already been activated is temporarily saved in the external storage device 34a,
It is also possible to call the data that has been saved after the voting process is completed and perform the normal voting process.

Here, assuming that the polling place A visited by the elector A is a permanent polling place, the reception process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Elector A
When visiting the polling place A, is first guided to the place where the reception terminal device 10a is installed in order to perform the reception process. Therefore, the elector A uses the display unit 1 of the reception terminal device 10a.
Residents I brought according to the guidance displayed on 5a
Insert the D card into the electoral information input unit 12a. The electoral information input unit 12a reads electoral information (name, date of birth, address, permanent domicile identification information) recorded in the inserted resident ID card. On the other hand, the reception information management unit 13
The a judges whether or not the electoral information is acquired from the electoral information input unit 12a (step 10). In this case, since the elector information is acquired from the elector information input unit 12a,
Subsequently, in order to determine whether or not the polling place visited by the elector is a permanent polling place, the permanent polling place identification information included in the input electoral information and the electoral list storage unit 13a are stored. A determination is made as to whether or not it matches with the permanent domination place identification information (step 11). In this case, both the permanent domicile polling place identification information obtained from the elector A and the dominating place polling place identification information stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a are data indicating the polling place A, and the two identifying information are the same. To judge. If it is determined that the two pieces of identification information do not match,
Since the polling place visited by the elector is not the domicile polling place, it is necessary to perform the reception process at the dominating place, which will be described later.

The reception information management unit 11a confirms the electoral list stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a and confirms that the electoral A
Judges whether or not he / she has the right to vote and judges whether or not there is an election that has not yet voted by referring to the voting history information (steps 12 and 13). Here, the electoral list has a structure as shown in FIG. 9, and includes a permanent voting place identification information 60 for identifying a permanent voting place, electoral information 61 for identifying an elector, and an electoral voting history. It consists of voting history information 62 for management. The voting history information 62 is configured to be able to handle, for example, even when there are a plurality of elections on the same day. In the voting history information 62, “1” indicates that the voting has been completed or that it is not necessary to vote, and “0” indicates that the voting is not executed or the voting is absent. In the case of the elector A, there is an election that is registered in the electoral list and the voting history information 62 has not yet voted, so it is determined that voting is possible. If the visitor is not registered in the electoral list or if there is no vote available for voting, error information indicating that fact is displayed on the display unit 16a.

As a result of checking the electoral list, if it is determined that voting is possible, the elector who has been input to determine whether or not the polling place visited by the electorate is the permanent polling place. A determination is made as to whether or not the domicile voting place identification information included in the information and the domicile voting place identification information 62 stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a match (step 14). In this case, the permanent voting place identification information obtained from the elector A and the permanent voting place identification information 62 stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a.
Are data indicating the polling place A, and it is determined that the two pieces of identification information match. If it is determined that the two pieces of identification information do not match, it is necessary to download the voting software from the permanent voting place because the polling place visited by the elector is not the permanent voting place. I will do it.

Subsequently, the elector A is the reception terminal device 10a.
According to the guidance displayed on the display unit 15a, the input of personal information is started. For example, a fingerprint as personal information is collected at the personal information input 14a (step 15).
The collected fingerprint data is analyzed and feature data is extracted (step 16). After the voting, in order to manage the voting history of which election has been completed, the feature-extracted personal information and the electoral information are linked, and the link information is stored in the link information storage unit 15a (step 17). Further, an election list for making an election for the election that the elector has not yet voted in the voting terminal device is created and transmitted to the voting server device 20a (step 18). Here, the electoral list has the structure shown in FIG. 11, and is composed of the personal information 70 whose characteristics have been extracted, voting history information 71, and voting software 72. In this case, the polling place visited by elector A is the permanent polling place,
The voting list is transmitted to the voting server device without attaching voting software. As you can see from the structure of the elector list, when the elector list is sent to the voting server, the electoral information and the voting result are not directly related, and which candidate the elector voted for Will not be judged and the voting content will be kept secret.

On the other hand, the voting server device 20a that has received the voting software transmission request performs the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the voting terminal device management unit 21a of the voting server device 20a determines that the received content is the electoral information from the reception terminal device 10a (step 52), it stores the received electoral list in the electoral list storage unit 23a. (Step 53).

Next, assuming that the polling place A visited by the elector Y is not the domicile voting place but the polling place B is the domicile voting place, refer to the flowcharts of FIGS. While explaining.

When the elector Y visits the polling place A and comes to the reception terminal device 10a in the same manner as described above, the elector Y follows the guidance displayed on the display section 16a.
The resident ID card brought is inserted into the electoral information input unit 12a. The reception information management unit 11a determines that the elector information is input in the elector information input unit 12a (step 1
0), and subsequently compares the home-voting place identification information of the electoral information input with the home-voting place identification information stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a (step 11). In this case, the identification information on the permanent domicile voting place read from the citizen ID card of the elector Y indicates that the permanent domicile voting place is the polling place B, and the domicile voting place identification stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a. The information indicates the polling place A, the two pieces of identification information cannot be matched, and the central host computer 1 is requested to check the electoral list with the reception terminal device 10b of the polling place B via the communication control unit 17a. Along with that, the electoral information is transmitted (step 19).

Upon receiving a request to check this electoral list,
The central host computer issues a request for checking the electoral list to the reception terminal device of the applicable permanent voting place based on the judgment shown in the flowchart of FIG. The permanent voting place determination unit 3 of the central host computer 1 determines whether the request received via the communication control unit 4 is an electoral list check request (step 40). Further, the electoral information transmitted from the polling place A is received (step 41). The domicile voting place determination unit 3 searches the domicile voting place information stored in the voting place information storage unit on the basis of the received dominance place voting place identification information of the elector information, and determines the applicable domicile voting place (step 42). ). In this way, when it is confirmed that the electoral polling place of the elector Y is the polling place B, the dominating polling place determining unit 3 then causes the reception terminal device 10b of the polling place B to detect the polling place based on the electoral information. A request is made to check the electoral list and the electoral information is output (step 43).

Since the procedure of acceptance processing at the polling place B is the same as the processing at the polling place A described above, the acceptance processing will be described with reference to FIG. When the reception information management unit 11b of the reception terminal device 10b of the polling place B which has received the request for the electoral list check processing from the central host computer 1 determines that the check processing request has been received (step 23), it is subsequently received. The electoral list is checked based on the electoral information (step 24). Here, it is confirmed that the electoral Y is registered in the electoral list storage unit 13b of the polling place B as shown in FIG. 10 and that there is an unvoted election. To do. Subsequently, the reception information management unit 11b transmits the result of the check process including the voting history information 82 to the central host computer via the communication control unit 17b (step 25).

When the check process at the polling place B is completed, the process moves to the central host computer again, and the permanent voting place discriminating unit 3 receives the result of the check process via the communication control unit 4 (step 44). The check result is further transmitted to the reception terminal device 10a of the polling place A via the communication control unit 4.
(Step 45).

The acceptance information management unit 11a of the polling place A determines whether or not the elector Y can vote based on the result of the check process of the electoral list received via the communication control unit 17a (step 13). ). Here, the check result of the elector Y can vote, and the process proceeds to the next step.
Then, the main-voting place identification information of the electoral information and the main-voting place identification information stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a are compared again (step 14). In this case, the resident ID of elector Y
The domicile identification information read from the card indicates that the domicile voting place is polling place B, and the domicile voting place identification information stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a indicates polling place A. , The two pieces of identification information do not match, and polling place B
It requests the central host computer 1 via the communication control unit 17a to download the voting software to the voting server device 20b, and sends the electoral information (step 21).

In response to the download request for the voting software, the central host computer 1 issues a request for download delivery of the voting software to the voting server device of the relevant permanent voting place based on the judgment shown in the flowchart of FIG.
The permanent polling place discriminating unit 3 of the central host computer 1 discriminates whether or not the request received via the communication control unit 4 is a request for checking the electoral list (step 40), and in this case, it is not for checking the electoral list. Therefore, it is subsequently determined whether or not it is a voting software delivery request (step 46). Further, the elector information transmitted from the polling place A is received (step 47). The domicile voting place determination unit 3 searches the domicile voting place information stored in the polling place information storage unit based on the received dominance place voting place identification information of the elector information, and determines the applicable domicile voting place (step 48). ). In this way, elector Y
When it is confirmed that the main domicile polling place of the polling place is the polling place B, subsequently, the domicile voting place determination unit 3 determines that the voting server 2 of the polling place B
0b, a request to download voting software based on the elector information is issued and the elector information is output (step 49).

The voting server device 20b, which has received the voting software download request from the central host computer 1,
Processing is performed based on the flowchart shown in FIG. The voting terminal management unit 21b of the voting server 20 at the polling place B determines whether or not there is a download request for voting software from the central host computer 1 (step 60). If there is a download request, the voting software master storage unit 22b. The voting software stored in (1) is transmitted to the central host computer 1 via the communication control section 24b (step 61).

When the voting software has been transmitted from the voting server device 20b of the polling place B, the processing is transferred to the central host computer 1 again, and the permanent voting place discriminating unit 3 and the communication control unit 4 are operated.
The voting software is received via (step 50), and the voting software is further transmitted to the polling place A via the communication control unit 4 (step 51).

Continuing steps 15 to 18 in FIG.
Since the processing of step 1 and the processing of steps 62 and 63 in FIG. 7 are the same as the processing described above, description thereof will be omitted. In this way, even if the polling place visited is not a permanent voting, it is possible to reliably perform the acceptance process. By the way, the electoral list of the elector Y transmitted to the voting server device 20a in step 18 has the structure shown in FIG.

When the acceptance process for the elector is completed in this way, the elector is subsequently guided to the place where the voting terminal device is installed and casts a vote. Voting using the voting terminal device will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The elector chooses one from a plurality of voting terminal devices installed at the polling place to vote.
For example, when selecting the voting terminal device 30a of the polling place A,
First, the elector will collect a fingerprint by the personal information input unit 32a according to the guidance displayed on the display unit 35a of the voting terminal device 30a. Voting process management unit 31
When the personal information is input from the personal information input unit 32a (step 71), the a extracts features from the acquired fingerprint (step 72). Subsequently, the personal information extracted from the characteristics is transmitted to the voting server (step 73) to inquire whether the elector who operates the voting terminal is a person who has completed the reception, and when the reception has been completed. ,
The electoral list is received from the voting server device 20a.

On the other hand, the voting server device performs processing according to the control shown in FIG. It is determined whether the personal information is transmitted from the voting terminal device 30a (steps 60 and 6).
2, 64), the personal information is received (step 65), and the personal information that matches this personal information is the elector list storage unit 23.
It is determined whether the data is stored in a (step 66). Here, the corresponding electoral list is the electoral list storage unit 23.
If it is stored in, the corresponding electoral information is transmitted to the voting terminal device 30a (step 67). If there is no corresponding electoral list, the fact that there is no corresponding electoral list is transmitted to the voting terminal device 30a.

The process returns to the voting terminal device 30a again,
The electoral list or error data is received from the voting server device 20a (step 74). When the error data is received, a message to the elector that the vote cannot be displayed is displayed on the display unit 35a, and when the elector list is received (step 75), the elector list received subsequently is displayed. The voting process is performed based on the contents of (step 76). When the visiting polling place is a permanent polling place, according to the voting history information of the electoral list, the voting is made possible for the election that has not been voted yet. If the visiting polling place is not the domicile polling place, the voting software for the elections originally held at the dominating polling place is made ready according to the voting software and voting history information attached to the electoral list. The results of the elections conducted here are transmitted to the host computer via the voting server device and aggregated (step 7).
7). Next, it is determined which election the voters have voted for, and the voted information is rewritten into election history information (step 78). The elector list including the rewritten election history information is transmitted to the voting server device 20a (step 79). If voting software is attached to the electoral list, this part may be deleted before sending the electoral list.

The voting terminal device management section 21a of the voting server device 20a judges whether the electoral list is transmitted from the voting terminal device 30a (steps 60, 62, 6 in FIG. 7).
4, 69), when the elector list is received, the elector list stored in the elector list storage 23a is deleted and the received elector list is transmitted to the reception terminal device 10a (step 70).

Reception information management unit 11 of the reception terminal device 10a
a determines whether the electoral list is transmitted from the voting server device 20a (steps 10, 23, 2 in FIGS. 3 and 4).
6) When the electoral list is received, the link information storage unit 15a is searched for link information that matches the personal information in the electoral list (step 27). Next, it is determined whether the permanent voting place identification information in the electoral information linked to the retrieved personal information matches the identification information stored in the electoral list storage unit 13a (step 28). Since the electoral list is at the polling place A, the electoral list storage unit 13a is searched for an elector who matches the electoral information (step 30), and the voting history of the retrieved elector is rewritten (step 30). On the other hand, when the identification information of the permanent polling place cannot be found to be the same, the electoral list is in another polling place, and therefore the rewriting of the front and back history via the central host computer 1 is requested to the corresponding polling place. Send the electoral list and electoral information to the central host computer (step 31).

The permanent voting place determination section 3 of the central host computer 1 receives the electoral list and electoral information from the reception terminal device (steps 40, 46, 5 in FIGS. 5 and 6).
2, 53), the domicile voting place is determined from the domicile voting place identification information of the received electoral information and the identification information stored in the polling place information storage unit (step 54). The electoral list and the electoral information are transmitted to the reception terminal device of the permanent voting place based on the determination result (step 55).

Upon receiving the electoral list and electoral information from the central host computer 1, the acceptance terminal device of the permanent polling place receives these information (step 1 in FIGS. 3 and 4).
0,23,26,32), the elector who matches this electoral information is searched from the electoral list (step 33), and the voting history information of the electoral list for the found elector is received. The content of the voting history of is rewritten (step 34).

[0041]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, even if the polling place visited by the elector is not the domicile polling place, the reception can be performed, and after confirming the reception, the individual who identifies the elector By sending voting processing information (voting software) for performing voting processing to the voting terminal device in which the information has been input,
It is possible to reliably prevent illegal voting.
