A Critical Analysis of the Council of Europe Recommendations on E-Voting

In September 2004, the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers officially adopted a set of standards recommended by the Multidisciplinary Ad Hoc Group of Specialists on legal, operational and technical standards for e-enabled voting [7]. This paper puts the standards in their historical context, examines them according to established software engineering principles, and finally suggests how they could be restructured.
