What is E2E, and why is it Important?
End-to-end cryptographic independent verification, or E2E, is a mechanism built into an election that allows voters to take a piece of the ballot home with them as a receipt. This receipt does not allow voters to prove to others how they voted, but it does permit them to: • Verify that they have properly indicated their votes to election officials (cast-as-intended). • Verify with extremely high assurance that all votes were counted properly (counted-as-cast). Voters can check that their vote actually made it to the tally, and that the election was conducted fairly.
