  We propose a secure voting protocol for score-based voting rules, where
independent talliers perform the tallying procedure. The protocol outputs the
winning candidate(s) while preserving the privacy of the voters and the secrecy
of the ballots. It offers perfect secrecy, in the sense that apart from the
desired output, all other information -- the ballots, intermediate values, and
the final scores received by each of the candidates -- is not disclosed to any
party, including the talliers. Such perfect secrecy may increase the voters'
confidence and, consequently, encourage them to vote according to their true
preferences. The protocol is extremely lightweight, and therefore it can be
easily deployed in real-life voting scenarios.
