Comment : | We also suggest the addition of the following terms: Ballot Secrecy: to distinguish between i. a voting system that provides privacy as long as the voter wishes to keep his vote secret, and ii. one that provides privacy even if the voter tries to reveal his vote, and thus prevents vote buying and voter coercion Definition: Ballot Secrecy A voting system is said to provide perfect ballot secrecy if it is perfectly private even when the voter is in collusion with the adversary and even if the voter wishes to prove how she voted to the adversary.
