The Problem

Online voting requires strong authentication but must preserve ballot secrecy - hard to balance

The Solution

EUDI Wallet authenticates voter eligibility, then disconnects to ensure vote privacy

Benefits

Voter eligibility verified (only eligible citizens vote)
Ballot secrecy preserved (vote not linked to identity)
Remote voting possible (no need to visit polling station)
Fraud prevention (one person, one vote enforced)
Accessibility (disabled, elderly, abroad citizens can vote)

How It Works

1

Access online voting portal during election period

2

Authenticate with EUDI Wallet to prove eligibility

3

4

Portal issues anonymous voting token (unlinked to identity)

5
