Solutions | Remote e-Voting (Internet Voting)

Enfranchising voters through new voting channels.

Internet voting is regarded by many governments as the next natural step in the evolution of electoral processes because of its potential to increase voter turnout rates, facilitate the voting process to citizens and enfranchise voters such as overseas voters, military voters and voters with disabilities.

Internet voting offers many advantages over the conventional paper-based electoral systems, including mobility and convenience for voters, greater speed and accuracy in the counting process, prevention of involuntary voting errors, better accessibility, lower costs, support of multiple languages, greater flexibility, etc.

Because of the potential electronic voting has towards improving current electoral systems, the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Council of Europe, have established standards and guidelines on how to implement it in a secure and reliable manner. Scytl collaborated with the Council of Europe in the security and audit standards set in its Recommendation issued in September 2004.
