  abstract = {Elections are a vital tool for decision-making in democratic societies. The
        past decade has witnessed a handful of attempts to apply modern technology to the
        election process in order to make it faster and more cost-effective. Most of the
        practical efforts in this area have focused on replacing traditional voting
        booths with electronic terminals, but did not attempt to apply cryptographic
        techniques able to guarantee critical properties of elections such as secrecy of
        ballot and verifiability. While such techniques were extensively researched in
        the past 30 years, practical implementation of cryptographically secure remote
        electronic voting schemes are not readily available. All existing implementation
        we are aware of either exhibit critical security flaws, are proprietary black-box
        systems or require additional physical assumptions such as a preparatory key
        ceremony executed by the election officials. The latter makes such systems
        unusable for purely digital communities. This thesis describes the design and
        implementation of an electronic voting system in GNUnet, a framework for secure
        and decentralized networking. We provide a short survey of voting schemes and
        existing implementations. The voting scheme we implemented makes use of threshold
        cryptography, a technique which requires agreement among a large subset of the
        election officials to execute certain cryptographic operations. Since such
        protocols have applications outside of electronic voting, we describe their
        design and implementation in GNUnet separately},
