Electronic Voting

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the topic of electronic voting, its advantages and disadvantages, and the problems associated with it that must be solved before it can be implemented on a large scale. The paper describes the problems with the present system of voting, alternative systems of voting as well as electronic voting, and the technology that could support this type of system.

From the Paper:

"The electronic voting machines currently in use include touch-screen voting, while suggestions for online voting over the Internet have been made but rejected because of the security difficulties of such a system. If those could be solved, however, then online voting might become a reality as well. At the present time, different states are considering how to implement some form of electronic system that will not create the sort of problems seen in Florida in 2000, will be secure, and will be accurate. They look to some of the systems that have already been used and so tested by different states to see what has worked and what has not."
