Change Details

==== Motivation There is no way to conduct tallying for encrypted elections via the web interface currently. The process demands the admin to enter the decryption key into the command line after logging on to the server. The server generates a tally and produces it back on the command line. We want to simplify this process for the election admins and allow them to conduct tallies for encrypted elections via the web interface. See investigation task: {T269029} ==== Requirements * There should be a form interface to allow the admins to enter the decryption key on votewiki. ** The key should only be added after the vote has concluded. !!Should we make this a hard requirement to prevent bad actors from being able to brute force their way into the results?!! * Once the key is added, we run a job on the server to generate a tally which is displayed back on the wiki for the admin to see. * The results are stored on the server (!!for how long?!!) to allow repeat viewing of the results without any wait.

==== Motivation The "Tally" functionality does not work for encrypted elections beyond a certain size (quote from @jrbs) via the web. This may also be true for unencrypted elections. We want to improve efficiency of the Tally functionality in this task. See investigation task: {T269029} Related task: {T271824} ==== Requirements TBD
