**Affirmed position.** EtherVote states that decentralized blockchain approaches provide security guarantees for voting platforms through transparency, immutability, and confidentiality. This independently supports the immutability-and-security guarantee mechanism in Kaal's claim. The proposition is limited to an e-voting design and does not establish universal necessity or principal-agent effects.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08
