It doesn't sound *too* difficult but I'll guss you've thought about it a lot lot lot more than me. But at first sight, its just a case of simply counting the votes made, and using some secure way of making sure nobody votes more than once. Athough how you'd do that may be the problem.
I thought It'd be more sensible if the computer 'forgot' who had made each vote immedately after doing so and just kept a track fo the running count of votes for each candidate? This would be simpler, surely, and would guarantee privacy.
Not that I'm fussed at all about the privacy of my vote. I voted green. And not just becasue the only other alternatives were the tories, labour or the BNP (ugh ugh and mega ugh).
