Revelations that uncertified software was used in at least two California elections (including the Gubernatorial recall) led to the mandate that voter verified paper ballots be added to their fully-electronic voting systems.

• “To Internet vote or not to Internet vote that is the question”.
• The Internet is already used to buy software, engage in commerce, to facilitate online banking, trade stock, to proxy vote, to submit income tax, and for school activities. Online voting would seem to be a logical extension of these functions. Deborah Phillips of the Voting Integrity Project says that, “All of our rights and liberties derive from our right to vote. ... ” This statement speaks to the special requirements that need to be met if Internet voting is to become a reality.

California, Florida, and Washington State have all made moves toward implementing Internet voting. The Department of Defense is testing an Internet voting system for US citizens living abroad.

The Federal Election Commission charged with the setting of standards for election equipment has undertaken a study of Internet voting. ... The critics say that online voting has a long uphill climb to ensure that individual votes are private, secure, and fraud-proof. A recent poll by ABC News is very insightful, it found that 52% of those polled were opposed to Internet voting, 70% of those polled thought that the level of security demanded was many years away. However, among 18-34 year olds 61% supported secure Internet voting.

• The Effect of Internet Voting .
• Internet voting may soon make its way into civic elections. ... I conclude that the internet will not cause an increase in voter participation. ... The internet is now offering some citizens the ability to participate in elections by way of the internet. ... Many speculate that soon all Americans will extend their on-line participation to include voting in elections. ... Poll numbers and other data such as these are being increasingly flaunted to suggest that internet voting will dramatically increase voter participation, particularly for young, internet-savvy, potential voters. Until on-line voting arrives for political elections, political scientists will ask whether on-line voting will really make any difference. ... Proponents of this theory would argue that by decreasing the difficulties of voting, participation will increase (Piven & Cloward 1988; Teixeira 1992; Wolfinger & Rosenstone 1980 as cited by Southwell & Burchett 2000, 74). Changing the voting procedures from paper ballots to an internet vote represents a decrease in the cost (time and resources) to go to the polls on election day. ... Instead, voting could be as simple as a click of the mouse, after checking stock quotes, e-mail, or current news—all while wearing your pajamas. Thus, if visiting the polls was the only cost of voting, we would expect to see a dramatic increase in voter participation if an on-line election was conducted. However, going to the polls on election day is only one of many costs of voting.
• In the last two to three years, however, many schools have begun conducting on-line elections in which students can vote at any time, anywhere in the world, via the internet. I will compare the changes in voter participation between internet-election years, and non-internet-election years in five colleges/universities. This analysis will provide an indication of how internet voting in actual political elections may be affected as a result of an internet vote option. ... The survey is designed to get information about their attitude toward the role of the elected President of the BYU Student Association (BYUSA), as well as individual BYUSA voting behavior. Additionally, the survey will also ask whether students are voting in the November Presidential election and if they feel they would be more likely to vote in the General Election if they could do so on-line. ... They are young enough to be internet savvy—fear of the internet would not likely keep them from voting in an internet election. ... Young voters, from 18-24 years old, have the worst voting record with only 49% even being registered in 1996 (Fetto 1999, 46). ... College students are more active than their non-student counterparts with 41% voting in 1998, near the overall national average. ... Some have suggested that an internet vote may be the impetus needed to get young American voters to the polls. After all, the younger generations are ever more accustomed to doing everything from e-mail to stock trading on the internet. In fact, in one study, 70% of young Americans cite the internet as being their major source of political data (Fetto 1999, 47).

•   The implementation of Internet voting would allow increased access to the voting process for millions of potential voters who do not regularly participate in our elections. However, technological threats to the security, integrity and secrecy of Internet ballots are significant. The possibility of "Virus" and "Trojan Horse" software attacks on home and office computers used for voting is very real and, although they are preventable, could result in a number of problems ranging from a denial of service to the submission of electronically altered ballots. ...
• Despite these challenges, it is technologically possible to utilize the Internet to develop an additional method of voting that would be at least as secure from vote-tampering as the current absentee ballot process in California. At this time, it would not be legally, practically or fiscally feasible to develop a comprehensive remote Internet voting system that would completely replace the current paper process used for voter registration, voting, and the collection of initiative, referendum and recall petition signatures. ...
• To achieve the goal of providing voters with the opportunity to cast their ballots at any time from any place via the Internet, this task force believes that the elections process would be best served by a strategy of evolutionary rather than revolutionary change. This report defines four distinct Internet voting models and the corresponding technical and design requirements that must be met when implementing any of the stages. ...
• One of the most difficult tasks for an Internet voting system is the authentication of voters. To ensure that every voter has the opportunity to cast a ballot and no voter is able to vote more than one time, this task force believes election officials should initially test Internet Voting technology through the use of Internet Voting machines that are under the direct control of election personnel in traditional polling places. ...
• Eventually, election officials can transition toward allowing voters to cast ballots at publicly accessible county-controlled kiosks or computers and, in the future, provide the option of remote computer voting from any computer with Internet access. ...
• If remote Internet voting is eventually adopted, this task force believes that current technology requires that it initially be modeled on the current absentee ballot process in California. Although the procedures used to request an Internet ballot in this model would be more cumbersome than traditional e-commerce transactions, it is the only way to tie the authentication of voters from the existing paper voter registration system to the electronic arena at this time. ...
• We believe that additional technical innovations are necessary before remote Internet voting can be widely implemented as a useful tool to improve participation in the elections process in California. However, current technology would allow for the implementation of new voting systems that would allow voters to cast a ballot over the Internet from a computer at any one of a number of county-controlled polling places in a county. ...

• Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't really see how you can conduct an experiment in a live voting environment. What happens if there's a suggestion the system has been compromised, either during or after the vote? I always thought that voting systems were either approved, credible and acceptable or not in public use. Of course it's fine to have an 'experiment' where the only experimental part is, say, the user-aspects of the voting process. But security can surely never be part of an experiment in a live voting situation. ...
