A framework for secure electronic voting

We describe a single framework in which to view the end-to-endindependently-verifiable (E2E) voting systems based on mixnets. We use the framework to invent new systems that combine front and back-ends from existing systems. Note to editor: a first draft of this paper was presented at WOTE 2008, which does not have formal proceedings. This is not referenced in the paper body to preserve author anonymity, it will be referenced in the final paper in a single sentence in the introduction.
