Abstract
In this paper, we present a private voting system that consists of N authorized voters who may vote to one of the K candidates or vote abstain. Each voter wants to compute the final tally while staying private and robust against malicious voters, who try to gain information about the vote of the other voters beyond the final result, or send incorrect information to affect the final tally. We design an information-theoretic private voting system based on Shamir secret sharing, which is secure and robust as long as there are up to (N-1)/3 malicious voters.
