摘要

Methods for the management and protection of electoral processes, which are associated with an electronic voting terminal, and operative module used. The inventive method is characterised in that , following a voting option selection step (201), a verification module (102), which is associated with a voting terminal (101), is used to perform the following steps: reception (202) of digital data relating to the voting options selected by a voter (103) at the voting terminal (101); verification (203) of the options selected by the voter (103), which are in some way encoded in the data received during the preceding step; confirmation (204) by the voter (103) of the voting options presented during the previous step; and, upon acceptance of said voting options by the voter (103), generation of a digital record to protect the integrity of the digital data received during the above-mentioned data-reception step.
