A simple evoting system.
Right now, we will assume that the election officers are trusted and so is the server the election is being hosted on. We will also assume that the CAS auth we are using right now is secure. Having made these assumptions, all we need is a simple, unencrypted tally and an unencrypted vote stored on the server (or the vote not stored at all). This should later be improved with some basic method of preserving the vote anonymity, keeping it on the server, and implementing some way of letting the voter verify their vote and the integerity of the overall tally.
Simply clone the evote repository:
git clone [email protected]:mtahmed/evote.gitThen import from another script and run as a WSGI app:
import evote
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
app = evote.make_wsgi_app()
server = make_server('', 8000, app)
server.serve_forever()Then point your browser to localhost:8000.
The frontend right now is intended to be html+javascript pages where users will need to login through some trusted authentication provider (CAS in this case).
The backend right now is intended to be pyramid serving a WSGI app, and sqlalchemy with a mysql database as the storage layer.
