• Online Voting In Arizona, Not So Hot. ...
• On March 7 we reported that Arizona was to be the first state to hold a binding election online: Original Report.
• The recent ONLINE primary elections in Arizona have produced some interesting results. Thousands of people voted in the first binding election online, and although some may claim that this was a great success and a much needed boost to voter turnout, the facts aren't that great.
• The online voting was available to Arizona's Democratic party members of which there are approximately 860,000 and only 10% voted. According to Arizona officials these numbers are a significant increase from the voter turnout in the1996 primaries and much of the media is declaring the "success" of these numbers to the option of online voting. ...

• There has not been any reports (yet) of cyber-attack on the voting results produced online, and that was one feared kink in the plan. ... com claims to desire the convenience of online voting for all voters, but not all voters are online. The numbers clearly indicate that less than half of the votes cast (in the Democratic party) were done so online, and yet still only 10% of the registered Democrats voted at all. The Internet did NOT seem to draw more voters, and definitely did not make voting easier for those that cannot afford net access, or those that desire to remain admirably "connected" to the physical world of paper and ink. ...
• Online voting is inevitable, but don't let politicians or the media fool you into thinking that online voting is going to increase voter turnout or further Democracy. Participation in online voting will no doubt increase as has e-commerce, but online voting poses a serious threat to the over-all voter turnout. As more and more people turn to the net, those people not online will be increasinlgy excluded and may actually vote less. Online voting is faster for voters and faster for election officials to process, not to mention the financial savings of not having polling booths, paper ballots, transportation for the ballots, and then physical counting of the ballots. No wonder there is such a push for online voting. ...

• Internet Voting: Will the Laptop Replace the Voting Booth?.
• Deborah Phillips, Voting Integrity Project .
• We are now filing taxes, applying for student loans, and seeking jobs online. Using the Internet for voting, however, is only beginning to be feasible. Several private organizations have tried online voting and recently political parties have conducted experiments of their own, with varying results. An industry of e-voting service providers has sprung up to meet this demand and several technologies furnished by these companies are now available for private and public elections. Along with increased interest and availability, the debate has intensified over the efficacy of online voting, particular methods of online voting, the reliability of those methods, and the meaning of democracy in the online environment.
• Proponents argue that e-voting can increase voter turnout and reach people who would not vote if they had to go to a fixed polling site. And while most agree that voting is a natural extension of online society, fundamental questions as to how valid elections would be carried out have yet to be answered. ... E-voting companies must answer these challenges to gain the confidence of voters and the regulatory approval of government election officials before any of us will be casting a presidential ballot on our home PC.
• By presenting a panel discussion of these issues, we hope to add to the debate over online voting and introduce people to the spectrum of problems, solutions, and concerns surrounding it. We will present the state of the art in e-voting technology and case studies in implementation of that technology in the Arizona Democratic Primary and Alaska Republican Straw Poll. In addition, speakers will address the socio-political issues involved in online democracy, such as the digital divide, consumer confidence in technology, and factors in increasing voter turnout. Finally, we hope to give a sense of the possibilities presented by online elections, and understand what must be achieved before the laptop replaces the voting booth.
• Representatives from the companies at the forefront of the election industry will examine the technology that would be used in an online election. ... These presentations, and questions by attendees, will frame the issues presented by e-voting, and help to further our understanding of online democracy.

• Home > Glossary > Definition - e-voting.
• e-voting.
• E-voting (sometimes called electronic voting, online voting, or Internet voting) is an election system that uses encryption to allow a voter to transmit his or her secure and secret ballot over the Internet. Critics of electronic voting express concerns about Web security and the lack of equal access to the Internet for all citizens (see digital divide). Advocates of e-voting cite the potential for reduced election costs, as well as the potential for increasing civic participation by making the voting process more convenient. Furthermore, they foresee that advances in cryptography will soon make submitting a governmental election ballot online just as common as filing an income tax return online is in the United States.
• At this time, e-voting is used primarily for conducting non-governmental elections, although a number of citizens in Switzerland and the United States (Arizona, parts of Alaska and California) have had the opportunity to be pioneers in the submission of governmental election ballots over the Internet, with varying degrees of success. Experts around the world agree that in governmental elections, the need to create a standardized, secure process for the verification, collection, and counting of votes must be addressed satisfactorily before online voting becomes a viable option. ...
• There are several groups working to create online voting standards. In the United States, the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) at the Pentagon, the California Secretary of State Internet voting task force, the NASED ITA subcommittee, and several third-party vendors are researching and testing voting models and software applications and examing standards to make online voting an option in time for the 2004 Presidential election. An international group of experts and companies, called The Internet Voting Technology Alliance is working on an open peer review of standards that could be used in e-voting throughout the world. ...
• As of this writing, each of these groups has a different solution with different security standards and risks, although there are three Internet electronic voting models that each group seems to feel holds promise: automation of the current process, electronic voting at a secure Web site, and electronic voting at regional centers. ...

• Internet voting has been viewed as a possible cure for some of the ills that afflict the mechanics of American democracy. Recently, the technology has seemed to move ahead of any serious consideration of whether it is actually a good idea to allow home computer owners to choose a president in the same way they order bath towels online or send e-mail to their relatives. ... Four computer scientists brought in by the Pentagon to analyze a plan for Internet voting by the military issued a blistering report this week, concluding that the program should be halted. ... The intentions behind the Pentagon's plan, the Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment, are laudable. Military personnel overseas, and other Americans abroad, face obstacles to registering and voting. ... But the advantages of the Pentagon's Internet voting system would be far outweighed by the dangers it would pose. The report makes it clear that the possibilities for compromising the secrecy of the ballot, voting multiple times and carrying out vote theft on a large scale would be limited only by the imagination and skill of would-be saboteurs. ... The report this week - which was written by respected scientists, including Aviel Rubin, an associate professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins University - is not the first to call Internet voting into question. A March 2001 study conducted by the Internet Policy Institute and financed by the National Science Foundation found that Internet systems like the Pentagon's "pose significant risk to the integrity of the voting process. ... There is every reason to believe that if federal elections can be tampered with, they will be, particularly when a single hacker, working alone, might be able to use an online voting system to steal a presidential election. The authors of the report this week concede that there is no way of knowing how likely it is that the Pentagon's voting system would be compromised.
