There&#x27;s all kinds of math on techniques for being able to audit the vote without exposing individual voting behaviour. It is possible to prove to yourself that your vote was counted without exposing what your vote was to others, and also providing assurances that the result represents the aggregate of everyone&#x27;s &quot;votes&quot;. I don&#x27;t think there is much about the important aspects of this design that require there be massive privacy issues. There are some variants around &quot;honest verifiers&quot; that work even more simply. Most of the homomorphic encryption excitement stems from some of the more sophisticated variants of that approach.
