Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de vote électronique sécurisé, comprenant des moyens de lecture de bulletins de vote électroniques portant au moins une information de vote préalablement inscrite par un électeur à l'aide de moyens d'inscription idoines, et comprenant :
- des moyens pour l'insertion dans lesdits moyens de lecture d'un bulletin de vote, coopérant avec des moyens empêchant le retrait dudit bulletin ;
- des moyens de contrôle de la validité d'un vote, délivrant une commande de transfert dudit bulletin de vote vers ladite urne, après prise en compte de la ou des informations de vote qu'il contient, lorsque ledit bulletin de vote et/ou les conditions du vote sont considérés valides ;
- des moyens de traitement de la ou des informations de vote lues par lesdits moyens de lecture ;
- des moyens de transfert automatique dudit bulletin de vote, après réception d'un signal de confirmation de prise en compte et sans intervention humaine, vers une urne sécurisée,

de façon à permettre une double comptabilisation desdites informations de vote, d'une part à l'aide des données lues par lesdits moyens de lecture, et d'autre part de façon différée, par retraitement des bulletins conservés dans ladite urne.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a secure electronic voting device, comprising means for reading electronic ballots containing at least one voting information previously entered by an elector using appropriate registration means, and comprising:
means for inserting in said reading means a ballot, cooperating with means preventing the withdrawal of said ballot;
means for checking the validity of a vote, issuing an order for transfer of said ballot paper to said ballot box, after taking into account the voting information or information it contains, when said ballot and / or the voting conditions are considered valid;
means for processing the voting information or information read by said reading means;
means for automatically transferring said ballot, after receiving a confirmation signal for taking into account and without human intervention, to a secure ballot box,

so as to allow double counting of said voting information, firstly with the aid of data read by said reading means, and secondly in a deferred manner, by reprocessing the ballots kept in said ballot box.
