E-electoral administration: organizational lessons learned from the deployment of e-voting in the UK
Alexandros Xenakis, Ann Macintosh · International Conference on Digital Government Research · 2005
Within the wider spectrum of digital democracy, e-voting systems attempt to redefine long-established electoral practices. This paper does not examine whether e-voting should become a standard voting practice, but beginning with the hypothesis that some stakeholders are willing to adopt e-voting systems, explores how electronic voting can be deployed in an effective manner resulting to an accepted outcome. The authors suggest that the traditional electoral process is re-engineered into an e-electoral process through the introduction of available e-voting technologies. Then, based on the UK e-voting experience, the issue of e-electoral administration is examined and discussed.
