A Nostr-Based E-Voting System with Blinded Ephemeral Keys, OpenTimestamps, and Re-Voting
A white paper describing a Nostr-based election system that incorporates:
Voter-Generated Ephemeral Keys (the voter, not the authority, generates the key).
Blind Signatures from the Election Authority (EA) to authorize that ephemeral key.
Homomorphic or Mix-Net Encryption to protect ballot secrecy.
OpenTimestamps-style proofs to give each ballot (and any re-cast ballot) a tamper-proof, verifiable time anchor.
Re-Voting until the cutoff, allowing a voter to replace a previously cast ballot.
This design emphasizes privacy, integrity, verifiability, and resilience in a decentralized setting using Nostr.
