Not only election is one of the significant issues in democratic societies, but also it can be used in commercial association such as stock market and it has a noteworthy feature to determine the board of the directors. According to progresses in cryptographic topics and asymmetric encryption systems, tremendous attempts have been made in the design of protocols for electronic elections. However, all of the designed protocols have either high complexity or weaknesses in security features. Since the majority of electronic election schemes are dependent on a number of honest persons, they are practically difficult. In addition, in most of them, voters will play a key role in producing ballot. If someone imposes compulsory, privacy will be lost or the voter will be able to provide a receipt to show the content of his vote, and this in turn, vote-buying and immoral issues will be appeared. 
In this paper after, evaluating the security features of an electronic election scheme, an election protocol based on homomorphic encryption, will be expressed, and  the difference between the receipt  protocol and receipt-free protocol will be  examined.

With the emergence of new phenomena in the telecommunications and information technology fields, such as cloud computing and smart networks, we are witnessing new challenges in these areas. One of the most significant challenges is the privacy of outsourced data. Due to the limited processing power of new intelligent devices such as tablets and mobile phones, outsourcing computations to these platforms has gained more attention from users. In addition to data privacy, the security of algorithms used in online software is also of great importance. Therefore, software providers may be concerned about the disclosure of their algorithms after outsourcing them to cloud environments. Existing homomorphic encryption systems can provide privacy for data that needs to be processed online. However, the concurrent privacy of algorithms in these systems has not been addressed. To address this, we introduce a simultaneous homomorphic encryption of data and function called SHDF. This system can homomorphically encrypt all algorithms used in the software and the data to be processed on them, enabling necessary computations to be performed on an insecure server. Furthermore, we show that the proposed system is provably secure. Our implementation results indicate that it is usable in cloud environments with the desired efficiency.
