Using the Wombat system, your encrypted vote (Not the plaintext!) was uploaded to the site, no one knows WHO voted this way, and no one knows whose vote that is but you. You get a hash (a short sequence of a-z A-Z 0-9 characters) that you submit into the site, and the site "fetch" your encrypted vote. Remember, no one (not even the Wombat system) can decrypt your vote. This can be done ONLY when all the candidates are gathered together, everyone share their secret key and Wombat combine all the secret keys into one key that can decrypt the votes and count them. And not even then does one can know what you! voted because all the votes are detached from any "owner".
