Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the First International Joint Conference on Electronic Voting, E-Vote-ID 2016, held in Bregenz, Austria, in October 2016. The 14 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. They represent a wide range of technological proposals for different voting settings (be it in polling stations, remote voting or even mobile voting) and case studies from different countries already using electronic voting or having conducted first trial elections.
