A Choreographed Distributed Electronic Voting Scheme

In this paper, we propose a choreographed distributed electronic voting scheme, which is based on quantum group blind signature. Our distributed electronic voting scheme could really protect the message owner’s privacy and anonymity which the classical electronic voting systems can not provide. The electors can exercise their voting rights effectively, and no one other than the tallyman Bob knows the contents of his vote. Moreover, we use quantum key distribution protocol and quantum one-time pad to guarantee its unconditional security. Furthermore, when there was a dispute, the group supervisor David can detect the source of the signature based on the signature’s serial number SN$SN$.
