Tallinn attracts fabricate a poll
Without some kind of went to the city of Tallinn teavituskampaaniata off poll of the administrative reform. Estonian government was suddenly wealthy, that could consume the services and proximity to metropolitan neighbors to formally adopt a common hat down and give up parts of the city.
Tallinn City Office poll is more akin to e-mail address harvesting and marketing purposes, but not the binding force of opinion polls. Voters are not detected: no ID card, internet bank or cell-ID. However, the web has given a voice equal to a paper issued following the district governments hääletuspunkides located, although the latter applies to a voter photo identification document.
I understand that, to conduct the interview in a hurry, but the referendum can not be arranged according to the same criteria as in 2006. President Ilves received support in August or 2007. Spring on the internet trying to be voted out of Savisaar. Both votes were at that time, people wish to remain anonymous in a large number of signatures to be used as a basis for political struggle. Even if a man's name was copied into the phone book, there was an impact.
This time, however, is to be extremely easy to get around town võltsitava system and allow citizens of the city rise to further activities. If you would like to 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 free e-mail systems. A little harder to get people's names, but here's a bailout of the phone book can help. Voter ID code is not checked, but also to get them through the commercial is not that hard to.
Namely, the website is available to all commercial condominiums members of the governing personal data: name, residence and personal identification number. Search term "apartment" is to be right more than 10 000 registered co-operative apartment, but it will just tighten up the criteria for such a street in Tallinn.
It is surprising that Estonia, which regards itself as the field of information technology fully developed, must still agree on the knee at the end of the solutions. E-government is not made available to municipalities a simple platform ID card for users of public surveys.
This is probably due to the fear and the desire to play in front of participatory democracy, led by the current options. Think about what a mess would be the majority in the council's own political power, people can have the opposite answer to the question - and it is a situation in which to participate or vaevub 10-12 percent of people entitled to vote. If so it is no longer a majority decision, but a minority dictatorship.
Tallinn, the vote, however, is one of the fake e-voice enough to call into question the entire poll. Or at least ignore the votes conferred on the Internet. City Theatre and Cultural Survey of boiler may have gone behind the fence, the first calf and venial as such, but a second crash is not acceptable.
I do not think that the Tallinn city government IT people are not drawn attention to the dangers of the campaign, but apparently they decided not to argue. I am convinced that such a poll on the internet, there is currently no longer appropriate.
Years ago, heavily criticized the then Minister Tiit Tammsaare comparison to Estonia's Tiger Leap is a proven son cat poops corner. Looking at the current Tallinn referendum can be seen that this feline is now the hair is shaved.
