(EFFECTIVE-EVOTE) IDI-20230522
Context
At Kuorum, we collaborate with universities and researchers worldwide to drive advancements in the field of cryptography. Below, we provide information on one of these projects, which has been co-funded by CDTI, a public innovation agency.
Objective
The project's primary goal is to develop an innovative cloud-based technological solution tailored to the specific requirements of elections and assemblies in private organizations. These requirements include voter privacy, end-to-end verifiability of cast votes, usability, and the swift availability of final results.
The technological challenge relies in the practical application of cryptographic properties within this new cloud voting framework, ensuring that the remote electronic voting system remains verifiable, private, fast, and adaptable. This adaptability is particularly relevant for union elections, as well as assemblies and elections in other organizations - key segments where Kuorum is focusing its new service offering for online collective decision-making processes.
Timeline and location
The project is being developed in Madrid over an 18-month period, running from April 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024.
Funding
The project is co-funded by a public innovation agency (CDTI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), with a total investment of €441,199.00 and EU funding of €175,371.
