In the all local commissions (e.g. temporarily used school) counting votes there should be members of the all parties involved in election, members of UN, EU, and couple from other major countries.

Each voting card should have unique ID (MD5/SHA checksum?), visible only in UV light, and printed in quantity equal exactly the number of people who can vote.

After finished voting, there should be counted not just used voting cards, but also checked remaining empty not used voting cards, to ensure their quantity matches, and whether they all have the right checksums. Local commissions don't only send data to central commission, but reveal results on-line. Media counts by them self.

Voter can use UV lamp and his/her own smartphone to make photography of his/her own voting card with revealed checksum.

There should be on-line database with revealed voting cards with their checksums visible in UV light. So everybody could check whether their vote is correct by looking up unique ID/checksum. Without revealing their personal data to everybody (that was introduced to disallow attack on people supporting one party/person).

 

 

That reminded me, one ancient way of voting. Using black and white stones. Everybody take stone with color they want (it represents person), and puts in jar.

In modern version, if we have two opponents, voter receives two voting cards, one puts in box, second one is "canceled" and must take with him/her.

So, if something is wrong with counting, voters can check it by revealing voting cards they took with them, and not used.

 

..please add your own ideas how to make cheating much more complicated..

 

ps.I modern world, in some countries, fraudulent elections have been replaced by influencing minds of "not so smart", uneducated and undecided voters. Brainwashing on a large scale.
