Overview

Online voting systems, also known as Internet voting or remote electronic voting, represent a technological approach to casting ballots where voters can submit their votes via the internet using personal devices. This method aims to increase voter turnout by enhancing accessibility and convenience, particularly for overseas citizens, military personnel, and individuals with disabilities. However, the implementation of online voting is fraught with significant security and integrity challenges, including risks of hacking, malware, vote manipulation, and ensuring voter anonymity. While some jurisdictions have piloted or adopted limited forms of online voting for specific elections or contexts, widespread adoption remains a subject of intense debate among technologists, election officials, and cybersecurity experts.
