| Biometric properties | |
| Other | Poll place voters could vote electronically if they wished. They were required to be identified on the on-line register, then the system initiated an e-voting session for them at a nominated voting terminal. They did not need to possess any secrets in advance of this. To vote remote, voters needed to have registered in advance to provide/obtain Ballot Number, DOB and PIN. |
| Anonymity | |
| Voting Machine | The relationship between Ballot Number and voter was segregated via the use of a number of 'blinding' servers which were needed to help initiate a voting session. Ultimately, the relationship between Ballot Number and voter was kept intact off the service. |
