How does POLYAS rule out multiple votes? -
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>POLYAS uses a so-called token (a random number generated by the system) which, while maintaining voting secrecy, prevents voters from voting multiple times. It works like this: When an eligible voter uses their access data to login to the Online Voting System, a temporary token is generated that anonymizes their identity. If the eligible voter submits a binding vote, the token is sent to the electoral roll, where the voter is deleted. Once a voter is crossed off the electoral roll, they are unable to log in again because the system has noted that this voter has already received and used a token. In this way, multiple votes can be prevented while at the same time maintaining voting secrecy. </p><p>After the election, the voting token is deleted and the relevant voter ID is marked in the electoral roll database.</p> </article> </main>
