E-Vote-ID 2023 : Eight International Joint Conference on Electronic Voting

The Eighth International Joint Conference on Electronic Voting, E-Vote-ID 2023, was held during October 3–6, 2023.
This was the first time the conference was held in Abbey Neumunster, Luxemburg, starting a new era in the conference in which the venue will change annually, and we will engage new audiences and organizers.
The E-Vote-ID Conference resulted from merging EVOTE and Vote-ID and counting up to 19 years since the first E-Vote conference, in Austria. Since the first conference in 2004, over 1600 experts have attended the venue, including scholars, practitioners, representatives of various authorities, electoral managers, vendors, and PhD Students. The conference collected the most relevant debates on the development of Electronic Voting, from aspects relating to security and usability through to practical experiences and applications of voting systems, also including legal, social, or political aspects, amongst others; it has turned out to be an important global referent concerning this issue.

This year, as in previous editions, the conference consisted of:
• Security, Usability, and Technical Issues Track;
• Governance of E-Voting Track;
... mehr
• Election and Practical Experiences Track;
• PhD Colloquium;
• Poster and Demo Session.

E-VOTE-ID 2023 received 49 submissions for consideration in the first three tracks (Technical, Governance and Practical Tracks). Each submission was reviewed by 3 to 5 program committee members using a double-blind review process. As a result 15 papers were selected from the three tracks to be presented in this volume of Lecture Notes in Informatics (i.e. 31% of the submissions). The selected papers cover a wide range of topics connected with electronic voting, including experiences and revisions of the actual uses of E-voting systems and corresponding processes in elections.
