From the point of view of data protection law, the issue of data security is central to e-voting in order to ensure compliance with the processing principles for personal data and, in particular, the accuracy of the data (data quality). The complete documentability and reconstructability of all processes required for this makes anonymisation impossible and is thus in a tense relationship to the confidentiality of votes. Data security can only be achieved – subject to the protection of voting secrecy – with balanced technical and organisational measures within the framework of certified ISMS/DSMS.
