We draw a map which analyzes the developments of electronic voting from back then to now.<br /> <br /> <b>Here are some key findings of the historical research:</b> <br /> • 1859: Werner von Siemens develops the first electronic decision making application<br /> • 1892: E-voting is used the first time in public in Lockport, New York, US, with an EVM of Jacob H. Meyr.<br /> • 1960: the first computer for tabulating votes have been developed<br /> • 1990: Devices with touch screen or key board interfaces and online technology are developed<br /> • 1996: first internet voting at candidate selection of the Reform Party (US)<br /> <br /> For further dates and facts you download a copy of this map here: (LINK)<br /> <br /> Is there any important date missing? <br /> Please let us know by email to office(at)e-voting.cc. maria.kellner News Copyright © 2011 maria.kellner 2011-10-25T10:12:00Z http://www.e-voting.cc/stories/38792510/ <a href="http://www.eac.gov/blogs/a_survey_of_internet_voting/"><img title="" height="200" alt="SIV_EAC_cover" width="151" src="http://www.e-voting.cc/static/evoting/images/SIV_EAC_cover.jpg" /></a><br /> <br /> The US Election Assistance Commission conducted a "Survey of Internet Voting" projects from January 2000 to November 2011 worldwide.<br /> The study examines the voting system architectures, the standards for designing and/or testing these systems and evaluation and management of system risks. It provides detailed descriptions of internet voting, including election data, technology provider and participating voter. <br /> <br /> 31 internet voting projects in 13 countries were examined. The survey identifies some interesting results and facts about the internet voting use. <br /> <br /> You can download the survey @ <a href="http://bit.ly/oHYlac">http://bit.ly/oHYlac</a> manuel.kripp News Copyright © 2011 manuel.kripp 2011-09-21T16:14:00Z http://www.e-voting.cc/stories/38780304/ <img title="" height="233" alt="norway" width="300" src="http://www.e-voting.cc/static/evoting/images/norway.png" /><br /> <br /> Yesterday, municipal and county elections were upheld in Norway. Next to the paper ballots in the polling stations, Internet voting was established in 10 municipalities. <br /> <br /> <b>Here are the first key facts</b>: <ul> <li>The total voter turnout increased with the use of internet voting. 63% of eligible voters cast their vote, which is 6% more than in the last election. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>55320 votes were cast online. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>384 votes were rejected, because there were also paper ballots and 1787 were rejected because of other reasons. </li> </ul> This figures show that the e-voting project was very successful. It was a pilot project in order to implement the system in all municipalities in Norway in upcoming elections.<br /> <br /> The OSCE was invited to observe the electronic voting. <br /> Find more information about the e-voting project <a href="http://www.regjeringen.no/en/dep/krd/prosjekter/e-vote-2011-project.html?id=597658">@ LINK</a> maria.kellner News Copyright © 2011 maria.kellner 2011-09-13T14:14:00Z http://www.e-voting.cc/stories/38771909/ <img title="" height="97" alt="logo_ada" width="297" src="http://www.e-voting.cc/static/evoting/images/logo_ada.jpg" /><br /> <br /> The Managing Director of E-Voting.CC Manuel Kripp participated in the Assembly for Democracy in Asia, which was held on 22.-23.8.2011 in Taipei, Taiwan. <br /> <br /> Manuel moderated the workshop “Technology and Democracy”, which stresses out the important role of technology in the development of democracy. It is a development from face-2-face to a global society, which requires new tools for executing democratic tools for especially the younger generation.<br /> <br /> Presenter in this workshop were: <ul> <li>Tomas Jurczyk, Doctoral Student at the University of Lodz,</li> <li>Victor Hong, Student at the National Chaiyi University,</li> <li>Jia Yee Wu, Student at the National Tsing Hua University,</li> <li> Jennifer Butler, Doctoral Student at the National Chengchi University.</li> </ul> The workshop raised interesting discussion about advantages and challenges of technology in democracy and voting. There are many advantages of technology, like spreading information, enabling direct citizen participation and bridging. But the challenges are also manifold, ranging from the digital divide, control and censorship and the necessity of training and education.
Different forms of technology can be used for democratic issues. Social networks play a crucial role in democratic developments as one can see for example in the Arabic revolution. Politicians and other public players use technology to broadcast information and events, like the live broadcast of ballot counting in Taiwanese elections.<br /> <br /> The overall conclusion were that democratic values can be facilitated or enhanced with technology, but not created. This is also valid for the introduction of electronic voting.<br /> <br /> We want to thank the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy for the kind invitation to participate in and moderate the workshop and are happy about the interesting outcomings of the conference. manuel.kripp News Copyright © 2011 manuel.kripp 2011-09-08T10:14:00Z http://www.e-voting.cc/stories/38754220/ <img title="" height="75" alt="ICEGOV_2011" width="400" src="http://www.e-voting.cc/static/evoting/images/ICEGOV_2011.png" /><br /> <br /> <b>ICEGOV 2011 - 5th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance - is calling for participation.</b><br /> <br /> <b>Date: 26-29 September, 2011<br /> Location: Tallinn, Estonia</b><br /> <br /> <b>General Information:</b><br /> This year’s ICEGOV will be focused on open governance. 350 leading experts and practitioners in electronic governance from government, academia, industry, NGOs and international organizations from 60 countries are expected. <br /> <br /> <b>Further information: </b><br /> Check the conference website <a href="http://www.icegov.org">www.icegov.org</a> manuel.kripp News Copyright © 2011 manuel.kripp 2011-08-24T09:49:00Z http://www.e-voting.cc/stories/34644572/ From today on all information regarding the EVOTE2012, the 5th International Conference on Electronic Voting, is available at <a href="http://www.e-voting.cc/2012">www.e-voting.cc/2012</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.e-voting.cc/2012"><img title="" height="100" alt="Schloss-Hofen-Seite" width="67" src="http://www.e-voting.cc/static/evoting/images/Schloss-Hofen-Seite_small.jpg" /></a><br /> <br /> <b>The EVOTE2012 takes place from 12-14 July in Castle Hofen, Bregenz, Austria.</b><br /> <br /> The first Call for Papers is available <a href="http://www.e-voting.cc/static/evoting/files/1stCFP_EVOTE2012.pdf">here (LINK)</a>.<br /> <br /> All information will be available at the conference website: <a href="http://www.e-voting.cc/2012">www.e-voting.cc/2012</a> manuel.kripp News Copyright © 2011 manuel.kripp 2011-07-27T11:09:00Z http://www.e-voting.cc/stories/34633645/ <a href="http://ed.fbk.eu/revote/"><img title="" height="100" alt="re11logo" width="76" src="http://www.e-voting.cc/static/evoting/images/re11logo_small.jpg" /></a><br /> <br /> <b>REVOTE2011 Key facts:</b><br /> <br /> Workshop Date: August 29, 2011<br /> Early Registration Deadline: July 19, 2011<br /> Late Registration Deadline August 12th, 2011<br /> <br /> <b>General information</b> <br /> <br /> The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Electronic Voting Systems (REVOTE), Trento, Italy - August 29, 2011.
