Re: Retaining details of proxy holders undermines secret ballots – advice?

Electronic voting sounds like it has some potential, but  has any Flat Chatter used it? How easy to use is it? Would people whose first language is not English, or the elderly, be able to use it easily?

A quick scan of electronic voting brings up issues of security, technology failure (remember #censusfail?) and the loss of civic engagement as people don’t engage in a public forum, mindful of community responsibilities, but retreat to the privacy of their own home. Also, it could mean a pre meeting ‘meet the candidates’ would be needed so people could see nominees in action.
