Privacy, voter uncoercibility, collision freedom, verifiability, and t
ally correctness are essential properties of modern electronic electio
n systems. None of the single-authority election systems proposed in t
he literatures achieves all the above five properties. In this paper w
e propose a universal single-authority election system that satisfies
the five properties. In particular, the privacy of each voter is prote
cted against the authority and other voters, and no voter can coerce a
ny other voter into changing the value of his vote in our proposed sys
tem. We also show that it is impossible for a collision-free single-au
thority election system to possess the voter uncoercibility and author
ity uncoercibility at the same time.
