Some Things you may Want to Know about Electronic Voting in France
Abstract : In France, electronic voting machines are used in approximately 2 % of voting stations
while the voters of the rest of the country still vote with ballot papers. We decided to
focus on this small proportion to check whether the electronic voting machines in use in
France could pose a problem to voting efficiency and reliability. We compared the
accuracy of the voting process by checking whether the number of votes to signatures
were equal in each polling station. We found that the gaps between votes and signatures
were, on average, four to six times higher when electronic voting machines were used
by comparison with polling stations where people votes with ballot papers. We discuss
some hypotheses to explain this gap.
