This amounts to two different types of verification: universal verification and individual verification.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, universal verification allows the election organizer to check that the election ran smoothly and the accuracy of the vote count. On the other hand, individual verification allows eligible voters to make sure their vote wasn\u2019t manipulated as it arrived in the digital ballot box and that it was counted. Both methods maintain the secrecy of the ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Below you\u2019ll learn about the verification options offered by POLYAS online voting systems CORE 2.2.3 and CORE 3 for your online election.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltymfqmc-a7e66dfd12d3c3a0f73a2f3629a0358f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Universal verification of election results and process<\/h2>\n<p>The accuracy of your online election and vote count can be checked with an independent verification tool. You can obtain the verification tool and usage instructions from your POLYAS election manager on request.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Universal verification in POLYAS CORE 2.5.0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The verification tool allows you to check the integrity and authenticity of POLYAS CORE 2.5.0 individual system components after the election. This is done with block checksums and their hash values. Additionally, you can conduct a vote recount whilst maintaining ballot secrecy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Universal verification in POLYAS CORE 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>POLYAS CORE 3 also provides you with a verification tool to check that all processes of your online election as well as the vote count were correct. To enable universal verification, POLYAS 3.0 makes use of the latest cryptographic methods such as zero-knowledge proofs. This makes the process of mixing ballots in the ballot box, the decryption and counting of ballots transparent without violating ballot secrecy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/request-demo\">Request a quote for your secure online election now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltymg7xp-b78053bb5458bc6df78350d079a20a72 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Individual verification of election results and process<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to universal verification, POLYAS CORE 3 is currently developing various options for individual verification.

After activation by entering their access data, voters can view their ballot in the ballot box and check its accuracy.
