“…There are two possible categories of how the e-voting adoption term has been used: e-voting adoption by the election management body and e-voting adoption by individuals. In the first category, the term can be broad (for example, "electoral modernization" (Kimura, 2009)) or narrow ("online voting platform" ). On the contrary, in the 6.…”

Although the number of countries that have adopted e-voting has decreased lately, the number of academic publications on e-voting adoption has increased in the last two years. To date, there is no coherent narrative in the existing literature that explains the progress of the research on e-voting adoption. This article aims to answer the following research question: “How has research on the topic of e-voting adoption progressed over the last 15 years?” The article provides a semi-systematic review of 78 studies that were conducted from 2005 to 2020. In this article, I argue that although the studies on e-voting adoption are dominated by a single case study, by research in the United States, and by the positivist paradigm, scholars have employed the term “e-voting adoption” diversely and the research on e-voting adoption has evolved to address more specific research questions. Recommendations for the future agenda of research on e-voting adoption are also discussed.

This article makes an assessment of the nationwide automation of the 2010 and 2013 synchronized elections in the Philippines from a viewpoint of election administration. It first reviews the traditional manual system of pre-automation, identifies its problems regarding fraud and inefficiency, and traces the historical process of introducing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into election administration in the country. On the basis of both quantitative and qualitative data obtained from election and other statistics, various published and unpublished materials, interviews and field visits, the article then examines the 2010 and 2013 election automation in its four phases, namely, (1) voter registration, (2) voting, (3) tallying, and (4) data consolidation, and makes an assessment in terms of three frames of reference, namely, (1) voting right protection, (2) fraud prevention, and (3) administrative rationality which includes accuracy, efficiency, and economy. Finally, the article argues that, although it had many problems, the automation as implemented in the two sets of elections should be considered a success in the sense that it managed elections much better than the previous manual system.
