# Tallyable encryption of votes, some options

## [Reputable List Curation from Decentralized Voting](https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/709.pdf)

<div class="c-row">
<div class="c-column">

#### Pros:
- Usable today
- Can be very fast to generate, including possible on phones
- Proving time : O(1) 
- Verification time : O(1)
- Signature size : O(1)
- End-to-end verifiability built in to the protocol

</div>
<div class="c-column">
    
#### Cons:
- Protocols are generally not flexible – to support a different type of voting, you need to design a new scheme from the start
- Use of cryptography means it’s not trivial to verify

## Batravote

Batravote doesn't aim for privacy, but there is a version in progress that should add privacy. After this version is complete, the pros and cons should be roughly as explained below. Note however that this is subject to change, apologies for any incorrect guesses here.
