RE: [election-services] e-VOTING IN SCOTLAND

John,

 

Norway has been allowing people to renew drivers licenses and such this way for a while.  Voting however is another frontier - somewhat uncharted waters.

 

I could see this working for elected officials first - taking part in voting calls.   Given the demographics and geography - a lot of parallels between Scotland and Norway - and of course a lot of millenium ago - they were actually joined rock-to-rock geologically. 

 

Anyone - excellent that people are seeing the need to actually take a lead in providing citizens with better voting opportunities.

 

Thanks, DW

An interesting article, maybe Scotland will lead the way on e-voting.
