Abstract

This abstract provides some background information about the electronic voting experiment that is planned in the Netherlands for the European Elections of 2004, and about our own involvement in the infrastructure for this experiment. The talk will elaborate further about the computer security issues involved, especially with respect to the use of formal methods for vote counting software.
