| | Electronic voting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Electronic voting can be used by the electorate in elections and or referendums/preferendums, and/or it can be used by the elected representatives in parliaments. | | | Most voters in Estonia can cast their vote in local and parliamentary elections, if they want to, via the Internet, as most of those on the electoral roll have access to an e-voting system, the largest run by any European Union country. | | | Also, some voters complained that they would cast their vote for a particular candidate and the indicator of that vote would go off shortly after. |

| | Florida's voting snafus during the 2000 presidential election pale in comparison to the vulnerabilities of high-tech voting machines counties throughout the nation are scrambling to buy in compliance with a new federal law, several top computer scientists are warning. | | | In response to Florida's 2000 voting debacle, Congress in 2002 passed the voting act to replace archaic punch-card election systems and generally improve voter accessibility nationwide. | | | Rush Holt of New Jersey has introduced legislation (HR 2239) that requires all voting machines to produce a voter-verified paper trail by the November 2004 election: The Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act of 2003. |

| | Electronic Voting Debacle The Register |
| | The Oakland Tribune reported last week that several thousand voters in Alameda County used electronic voting machines made by Diebold that were never certified for use by state and county voting officials. | | | In Georgia during the 2002 elections, some voters using Diebold machines tried to vote for one candidate, but the machine would instead register a vote for the opponent. | | | Unfortunately, many of them are ignorant about security, some willfully so ("In response to the Hopkins report [by Avi Rubin], Linda H. Lamone, the state election administrator, said yesterday that Maryland's experience in the 2002 election gave her 'absolute confidence' in the Diebold touch-screen system"). |
