A report raises concerns on the future of e-Voting in the UK
Trust and confidence in the electoral system are two important concerns for the May 2007 Election Report that was recently released by The Open Rights Group (ORG).
ORG points to some problems that according to them were observed at the English and Scottish elections in May 2007, and that raise serious doubts regarding the suitability of e-voting and e-counting technologies for statutory elections.
After their work, they conclude that given the problems observed and the questions remaining unanswered, ORG cannot express confidence in the results declared in areas observed. ORG remains opposed to the introduction of e-voting and e-counting in the UK.
