Voting can be absolutely anonymous or fully transparent like a show of hands or various shades in between.

  1. Absolute anonymous vote storage – this means there is nothing in the database linking the vote to the voter.
  2. Anonymous voting – no one sees how each person votes however the votes are linked to the user voting accounts in the database which means the change vote feature can be used.
  3. Transparent voting – the election administrators can see how each person votes.
  4. Fully transparent voting – everyone can see how each person votes – like a show of hands.
