Electronic voting in elections in Estonia ignores the principles of uniformity and controllability, and creates a window of opportunity to buy votes.
I've had an opportunity to participate in online training courses organized by the election observers. The more I read the information materials distributed or stayed together, the more I realized the e-electoral observation is impossible.
I would have felt with other observers, and election authorities in one room and closed the only all of us have been through a keyhole operation or the computer cable into the computer pudenevate collecting the ballots and later to the correct folders, sorting of candidates. Any of us would not have had a taste of what the world of ballot papers and the attendants on the other side of the wall.
There is no way to see the computer user or using voting booths to vote. There is no other country in the world, after Estonia, where the polling booth would have been the location of the voter: his home, office, cottage, car, or your neighbor's room.
No other democratic country does not come to mind that we release the electorate votes validly used scamp of a random spread of the Internet and do not bother to verify the number of people involved, or a voter who is standing behind them. Probably for this reason that the voter has to be controlled by the election and voting under conditions ensuring freedom, has gone to other countries, e-elections, election polling machines use the road. Such machines are used in the election in the United States, France, Brazil, Finland and elsewhere.
2008th tested on the last Sunday of October the Finnish municipal elections in the county of Uusimaa in Southern Finland arranged the election polling place electronic voting machines. Voters were given the identification of the electoral map, which he entered the electoral machinery in the reader, touch screen, chose the candidate's number of electoral rolls and confirmed it. Electronic voice was sent through a computer network separated from the central server returned an election card and the voter's polling station staff.
Votes were considered a sample of the expiration date. It turned out that among the 12,234 voters were 232 invalid votes (1.9%), where the left end of the election procedure was done. Veaprotsendist It was enough to annul the results of electronic voting and elections, click on the ending of the experiment. Elections taking place in April Eduskunna go the traditional paper and pencil.
Estonia's e-voting veaprotsenti we do not know, because the votes are counted just arrived, and not the electoral vote and the start of a computer program start. It is precisely this aspect also refers to the Electoral SpongeBob Pihelgas complaint concerning discrimination, types of attack on voters and voters in the election administration's inability to detect active malware or virus on your computer.
The election machinery of voting system is very easy to secure against cyber attacks through a separate internal networking. Our e-voting system is designed to be accessible and open to everyone and allow someone else to vote on the code and the ID card. One could even say that we have liberalized the purchasing of votes. If you previously had to coax voters to polling stations and transport, and even then was not sure for whom they voted, the ID-card lending weeks facilitates the buying of votes. Mobile Internet penetration is easier to turn. If you provide a sufficiently good sense, not an incentive to voters to vote in the polling place to walk the usual way.
Involved in the conduct of electronic election people claim that their technology is tested and error free. Obviously, this is the case, but the e-voting as the weakest link in our present system is much voters, who are outside the electoral controlled conditions. I use a daily electronic bank payments, and have done business in Denmark, Great Britain, Latvia, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Italy and the three other countries, but still walked the polling place to vote in elections. The reason for this is that the bank statement transaction for both parties, just click on the elections reflected the majority's or reader's side. Voters can not be sure that his voice went into the desired candidate, or at all.
The only reason why the world has not bothered to cite our e-voting väärastumisele, smallness and insignificance of our country in the world of e-voting still a small proportion (15.4%). Even our neighbors do not care who wins this election, and by what means, because we do not have the risk of nuclear power in Russia, we have no ability to airdropping Finland or Sweden, and even the Latvians living in the tanks to protect themselves.
It is time to stop the experiment before you click on the electoral vote-buying has been liberalized and the return of democracy to our people affected by the controlled elections to the polling station. Click for the addicts out there might be a chance e-voting polling station staff on identification and voting freedom of goods and services.
