Tallinn attracts forge poll
Without some kind of awareness-raising campaigns went to Tallinn city rid of the poll over the administrative reform. Jõukaim Estonian government suddenly found that the capital could be the proximity of neighbors and services consumed by the official under the umbrella of the common areas of the city and give up.
Tallinn City is similar to the poll rather than harvesting email addresses for marketing purposes, but not the binding force of rahvaküsitlusega. Voters will not be recognized: no ID card, bank and mobile ID system. However, the paper treated voice on the web provided for district governments located hääletuspunkides, although recent concerns of the voter photo identification document.
I understand that the conduct of the survey is fast, but rahvaküsitlust can not hold the same according to the criteria as in 2006. August Ilves presidendikssaamist supporting or 2007. Savisaar trying to vote against the spring on the Internet. Both votes were people wish to remain anonymous, then use the signatures to the large number of political struggle as an argument. Even if someone copied the name of the phone book, there had not been for this effect.
This time, however, is to be extremely simple system võltsitava town citizens to receive authorization and the basis for future activities in the municipality. When I tilt the outcome in either direction, then I only need two things: the name of Tallinn and e-mail address.
E-mail address is very easy to create a free e-postisüsteemide system. Slightly more complicated is to get people's names, but there will be hädast phonebook. Voter identification number is not checked, but also they can not get through, although difficult to register.
Indeed, the website is available in the commercial register of members of boards of housing associations, all personal data: name, address, and identification. Search term "apartment" should be true after more than 10 000 registered korterühistu, but it will simply be restricted, if taken as the criterion for a street in Tallinn.
It is surprising that Estonia, which considers itself in the field of information technology fully developed, must still agree at the end of the generation of solutions. E-State has not made available to municipalities a simple platform ID card users rahvaküsitluste organization.
This is probably due to the fear and the desire to play in front of participatory democracy, led by the current options. Think of the confusion about what should be the majority in the council of a political power by the people of the opposite answer to the question of expectations can be - and this is a situation in which to participate vaevub options that are perhaps 10-12 per cent of the voting rights of the people. In this case, it is no longer a majority decision, but a minority dictatorship.
Tallinn, however, is a vote for one of the fake e-voice enough to call into question the entire poll. Or at least ignore votes awarded on the internet. City and Kultuurikatla poll could be the first gone to the garden behind the calf and venial as such, but the second time, taking up bucket can not be accepted.
I do not believe that the Tallinn city government IT people are not drawn attention to the dangers of the campaign, but apparently they decided not to argue with that. I am convinced that such a poll on the Internet is not at this time, no longer appropriate.
Years ago, the then Minister Tiit Tammsaare heavily criticized the comparison of the Estonian Tiger Leap has proved to be a corner kakavaks kittens. Looking at the current Tallinn rahvaküsitlust can be seen that this is now also kassilt hair shaven off.
