Hello, Am Montag, 23. April 2018, 19:12:25 CEST schrieb Felix Miata: TL;DR: It's a pseudonym for each voter. Longer version: Helios shows the list of voters and their encrypted ballot publicly: https://elections.opensuse.org/helios/e/board-elections-2018 -> "voters and ballots" Each voter has an "alias" (V1, V2, ...) so everybody who voted can check if his/her own ballot was stored correctly. Also, if someone decided not to vote, he/she can check that no ballot was stored for his/her voter alias. As a voter, you only know your own alias, so you can do the verification described above, but can't see if a specific person did or didn't vote. (Only the election committee knows all username - alias relations.) The alternative would be to have the voters' usernames in the voter list, so that everybody could see if a specific person did or didn't vote. That could possibly lead to interesting[tm] situations like "hey $name, why didn't you vote?", which we avoid by using the aliases. (Of course we encourage all Members to vote, but nevertheless, having free elections includes the right not to vote.) Speaking about the election - the election ends tomorrow, so if you didn't vote yet, please do it _now_!
