E-Voting: Technology Requirements Mapping

Abstract

Technology is the most important component in the implementation of e-voting, although technology is not the only one that contributes to the successful implementation of e-voting. However, in several countries that have successfully implemented evoting such as India, Brazil, the Philippines and Estonia, technology plays an important role in the success of these countries in its implementation. Likewise in countries that are not successful, such as America, Brazil, the Netherlands, England and others, technology has contributed to the failure of the implementation. In this study, a mapping of the requirements and details of technology for the implementation of e-voting was made. As a result, the technology required for preparation / pre-registration, registration, voting and counting activities is divided into two models of e-voting implementation, namely kiosk (machines stored in the public room / polling station) and remote voting. These technologies must meet the aspects of security and public perception, which is: easy to use by voters and committees, as well as transparency. The contribution of this research is a map of the requirements for e-voting technology to increase the number of voters and positive perceptions / public trust in e-voting technology and the development of e-voting technology.

Constructing and Optimizing an Evaluation Model for the Implementation of Electronic Voting: An Indonesian Case Study

“…(4) There is a significant effect of the technology infrastructure readiness on the successful implementation of E-Voting in general election [18,27]. (5) There is a significant effect of the human resource readiness on the successful implementation of E-Voting in general election [18,21]. (6) There is a significant effect of the constitution readiness on the successful implementation of E-Voting in general election [24,26].…”

“…Out of the many countries that have tried to implement E-Voting, only five of them have achieved consistent success [4]. The failures in other countries can be attributed to various factors such as technological inadequacies [1], security concerns, readiness issues, and lack of public trust [2,5], despite extensive research on E-Voting over the years [6]. According to the International IDEA's ICTs in Elections Database, out of the 178 studied countries [7], 34 countries have implemented E-Voting systems, either nationally or locally.…”

The Future of E-voting Implementation in Indonesian General Election Process: Constitutionality, Benefits and Challenges

“…27 In addition, Evoting can also eliminate the possibility of invalid and doubtful votes, which in many cases are the cause of controversy in elections. 28 In detail, Purwati Nani stated the reasons and considerations for using e-Voting, namely more efficient and effective, no duplication of voter data, very accurate vote counting results, no corrupted votes, and faster vote counting. 29 For an archipelagic country like Indonesia, E-voting is perfect for reducing the time and budget for conducting general elections.…”
