Abstract

Albania has held elections with a paper-based system for many years now. However, with the innovative technological developments that have taken place in the country, there is the possibility to apply these technologies to better impact the voting process. This study aims to propose an electronic voting architecture, using a hybrid solution that integrates voting kiosks within the country and online voting for Albanian citizens living abroad. The study uses a review of the literature method. This study analyses the voting process in Albania, focusing on two key issues: the accuracy of the process and the impossibility of voting for the citizens living outside the country. The electronic voting process through electronic voting machines and online systems are analyzed as new technological approaches to address and solve the issues mentioned above. From the study, electronic voting process implementation has a higher cost. Moreover, to evaluate the feasibility of the system implementation, a detailed analysis of costs is needed, security requirements specifications, and a legal framework.
