CYBER VOTING SYSTEM
In March of this year, globally nearly 40,000 residents all over the world voted electronically in the debate over WTC attacks by Terrorists. Voter participation in the primary was substantially higher than in 1996 USA elections and experts attribute a significant part of the increase to Internet voting. Thanks to its relatively low cost and high efficiency, Internet voting could significantly reduce the cost of counting, tabulating and processing votes. Because of lower costs, electronic voting could also stimulate public interest in government by increasing the frequency of solving complex issues.
With the emergence of the Internet, the process of voting our opinions could bring in right solutions for a complex and challenging situation like decision making. At first thought, it wouldn’t seem to make much difference how you vote — whether by pulling a lever, filling in a circle or clicking the mouse on your PC. But in reality the Internet has already influenced many and is likely to change the habit of decision making for un-answered problems in the years ahead. In addition to providing voters with a wealth of information about the problems incurred and campaigns, the Web also has the potential to significantly increase participation by making voting more convenient.
In the future, we will see the Internet as one of the most revolutionary tools in our day today life. By increasing participation and awareness among voter’s young and old, online voting has the potential to transform the problems to solutions.
Cyber voting systems store all the information of the participants who wants to rise his shout as well as the participants who cast their opinions, which contain the participant’s name followed by an string of alphanumeric characters indicating their choice. This allows the site administrator to be audited to verify who has voted. Once the polls close the site authorities and designated observers use tabulation keys to calculate only the opinion tally. Individual opinions remain safe, ensuring that all voters’ choices remain private.
As each online vote is received at the "ballot box" (Data Center), a confirmation is sent to the voter informing them that their ballot has been cast successfully. The individual ballots are permanently recorded on indelible media to allow for a recount should it be necessary. Just as with most new technology, the adoption of Internet voting for public sector will be a gradual one, starting at conventional poll-sites and evolving over time to voting from homes and offices.
The advantage to Internet voting at poll-sites is that voters can visit any polling place to cast their opinion. Poll-site Internet voting increases access by providing all voters more opportunities to vote. This can present a challenge for people who can’t get to that one site in time to vote for a variety of reasons: transportation, time constraints, health, etc. With Internet voting, the voter can vote at any poll-site. This means the voter could choose from hundreds of polling places, including ones that may be closer to home, work, or school.
