Due to the rapid progress in computers and communication networks, we may want to hold a secure electronic election on a public network. The election scheme that we proposed in this paper can fully conform the requirements of holding a large‐scale election. The privacy of the voters can be preserved against the voting center. No one, including the voting center, knows which voting strategy each voter adopts. The voting center cannot present a false tally without being caught. Then, “Electronic Election” on a public network is possible by employing our proposed scheme. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
