Can end-to-end verifiable e-voting be explained easily?

E-Voting is a widely discussed topic---both in the public and in research. In the last couple of years new voting protocols have been proposed. The contribution of this paper is to explain the fundamental concepts of Ben Adida's Scratch & Vote, show an implementation we made and report on the "user" (i.e. voter) experience of a handful of technically knowledgeable voters. All voters were students and they were given an introduction to the concept and could vote which coffee the institute should buy. We explored whether they would be convinced that end-to-end auditable protocols were an improvement to "normal" voting machine typically used in the US.
