    This document summarizes an opponent's review of a thesis titled "Net voting" that proposed a modified remote electronic voting system called "Scratch, Click & Vote" to fit Sweden's election system. The opponent found that the thesis clearly described the purpose and background of remote voting and justified the choice of methods. While the results were clear, the report did not make conclusions about Sweden's readiness for remote electronic voting. The opponent considered the literature cited and structure of the report to be good overall, with the clearer aspects being its readability and figures, and the weaker aspect being the lack of a strong conclusion.

    OPPONENT RECORD

    Thesis compiled by Viktor Collin and Hampus Ohlsson Title of thesis: Net voting Opponent: Anton Holmberg
    Was it easy to understand the underlying purpose of the project? Comments. Yes, the purpose is well described in the problem statement section of the report and is very easy to understand. Do you consider that the report title justly reflects the contents of the report? Yes but the word voting is very unclear and does not imply voting in a general election. How did the author describe the project background? Was there an introduction and general survey of this area? Yes, the background gives a good overview of the field with different methods of doing remote voting and the different challenges involved. To what degree did the author justify his/her choice of method of tackling the problem? Very well. The main source of background work is examined critically before chosen as a basis for the work. Did the author discuss the extent to which the prerequisites for the application of such a method are fulfilled? Yes, the applicability of the SC&V method is examined and the method is modified to better fit the Swedish election system. Is the method adequately described? Yes, and figures help to visualize the concepts effectively.

    Has the author set out his/her results clearly and concisely? Yes, the results are clear and easy to understand. Do you consider the authors conclusions to be credible? No conclusions about whether or not Sweden is ready for a remote electronic voting system are made. Only a more general conclusion about whether or not remote electronic voting system could be implemented in the future is presented.

    What is your opinion of the bibliography? What types of literature are included? Do you feel they are relevant? There are references to literature, web pages, reports and talks. All references seem relevant and trustworthy. Which sections of the report were difficult to understand? A security flaw in section 2.1. I did not understand how the flaw could be exploited. Other comments on the report and its structure. Very good and clear structure. What are the stronger features of the work/report? Easy to read and understand. Many good figures that demonstrate concepts. What are the weaker features of the work/report? No clear conclusion. What is your estimation of the news value of the work? The news value is that the SC&V system is modified to fit the Swedish election system. The modification is not that complicated but it provides a good solution. Summarize the work in a few lines. This report is about remote voting in general elections. Challenges in the field are discussed and the Scratch, Click & Vote system for remote voting is modified to fit the Swedish election system.

    Questions to author: 1. How does voting for multiple candidates introduce a security flaw in the current election system? I did not understand the explanation in the text. 2. Why did you not choose too let all users vote normally even if they have voted electronically before like in Estonia? 3. Have you thought about colorblindness when colorcoding the different columns on the coding card? 4. Do you think Sweden is ready to implement a remote voting system like the one you described in this report?
