If it must be used by only with voters personal computer, this good
idea could become futile already. I want to go to cybercafe and make
my vote. I want to use colleague laptop and make a vote.

Do not make it complicated or nobody (or few geek) use it. I want to
use any computer or device like ipad iphone or android phone, log in
with username-password and make vote. Simple, straight forward but
idiot-proof.
