Abstract: Various information hiding techniques based on steganography, cryptography, and watermarking have been formulated in literatures to secure e-democratic decision making. The existing stegano-cryptographic models for secure e-voting are vulnerable to attacks and thus, can be manipulated by an eavesdropper. In this paper, we present an imperceptible stegano-cryptographic model for securing generic security requirements of e-voting systems. The purpose is to model a secure e-electronic voting capable of delivering credible, fair and transparent future e-democratic decision making in developing countries like Nigeria. The model was implemented on our framework for secure e-voting using Java programming language and Oracle database management system. The results of the study after qualitative performance evaluation of the model affirm that the model could serve as a platform for delivery of e-democratic decision making of high electoral integrity and political trustworthiness in developing countries with significant digital divides.
