The use of quantm mechanisms in the service of voting security suffers from the problem that in order to generate keys for voters and verifiers a point to point connection has to be physically established for each pair, rendering this impractical. We thus propose using Point-to-Multipoint quantum key distribution (QKD) via time division multiplexing (TDM) and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in passive optical networks (PON) to improve both the deployment and security of online voting systems.
