Evoting systems are defined by the protocol system employed and two such protocols are the Envelope and Token protocols. On the 14 June 2017, the Council of Europe passed its recommendations for evoting systems for elections and referendums, which define requirements for the core functioning of an evoting system. This paper assesses these two main protocols and assesses their viability in context of the Recommendations.
