e-Voting Could Improve Turnout
Posted: 30th Apr, 2003 By: MarkJ
Research conducted for the Electoral Commission has found that electronic voting (SMS, Internet etc.) could improve the turnout during local elections, especially among younger participants:
A survey of 813 adults in England found that three quarters of 18 to 24-years olds, and 55 per cent of all respondents, would be more willing to engage in elections if e-voting was possible.
Voting through the internet was seen by 41 per cent of those surveyed as most likely to boost participation, followed by text messaging (33 per cent), electronic kiosks (30 per cent) and digital television (26 per cent).
The Europemedia item would appear to be in stark contrast to the Commission's own evaluation of pilots during 2002, which found that e-voting made no significant impact.
