“…They were still affected by the same geographical and temporal constraints, which are eliminated by Internet technology. Pending a sufficient level of trust in this medium, many citizens welcome the opportunity to vote online (Solop, 2001;Stradford & Stratford, 2001) Hence, we posit that convenience, accessibility, trust of the Internet and disposition to trust will have a significant impact of the perceived usefulness of I-voting. Gilbert et al (2004) define convenience as the ability to receive a service how and when one wants to.…”

Opportunities for Internet use in the political process are constantly emerging. The use of the Internet to obtain political news and share political information is gaining momentum. Remote Internet voting initiatives are also growing in popularity. This study presents a model of Internet voting adoption that explores the predictors of the perceived usefulness of Internet voting systems. To test the model a survey is administered to 372 citizens. The results of structural equation modeling indicate that accessibility, convenience, disposition to trust, and Internet trust all have a significant impact on the perceived usefulness of Internet Voting. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…This concept refers to the idea that the use of ICTs may reinforce the divide between different social groups: rich and poor; people with minimum qualifications and those with a high level of education; young and old (Norris, 2002, pp. 3–7; Gibson, 2002; Stratford and Stratford, 2001; Borgers, 2000). There is a danger of ‘skewing the vote in favour of certain socio‐demographic groups’ (Coleman, 2004).…”

Electronic Voting in Belgium: A Legitimised Choice?

2005

Computer voting was introduced in Belgium in 1994. Paradoxically, no action had been taken to ascertain the opinion of electors confronted with this original method of voting. This article verifies the social and empirical dimensions of legitimacy of this new method through several empirical indicators used in a survey conducted on the occasion of the federal elections of 18 May 2003: (a) how easy/difficult it was for electors to vote on a computer; (b) to what extent they trust voting on a computer; (c) if they have a philosophical/social opposition to voting on a computer.

“…As access to the new communication and information technologies have diffused throughout postindustrial societies, the idea of using electronic tools to modernize electoral administration has been widely debated, with potential benefits of greater efficiency, speed, and accuracy 1 . Perhaps the most important and influential argument concerns the claim that remote electronic voting will make the process more convenient and thereby strengthen electoral turnout and civic engagement, especially for the wired younger generation 2 . If citizens will not come to the polls, it is argued, why not bring the polls closer to citizens?…”
