    Unfortunately, the voting procedure that was used in the 2000 Presidential race in Florida was obviously inadequate. Using paper ballot sheets that the voter had to punch a hole in that left small chads, may have lost the race for Vice-President Gore. However, with today’s computer technology a better procedure would avoid these types of voting problems. Instead of using paper ballots, computers would allow the voter to absolutely make sure their vote was counted.…

    In the book, it is stated that the first major reason for the lack of participation in the election is due to the difficulty of registration. People do not have time or patient to stand in line to register especially when we now live in the golden age of technology where things can be done online; only eleven states now allows online voter registration. Although some critics have argued about the security of the process, it has proved to be an effective way to increase registration.…

    Executive Summary: The establishment of an electronic voting system in a country that is still struggling to plant democracy is more of a political venture than anything else. For it to be successful, will have to rely on professional research and will be driven by the understanding of the parties involved. As such, the voters as well as the candidates of elections will be major factors to consider. In that regard, the technical part of the project is miserably dwarfed in terms of importance and concern by the need to make the whole system acceptable, both politically and socially. This means working along with the parties concerned in order to create the trust and faith that is needed for the system to be successful in all ways. This document is a through consideration of the pros and cons of implementing such a project, with regard to cost, research and all the resources needed in the implementation of the project. User concerns, beliefs and the role of age and presence of democracy are critically analyzed to establish a clear and firm ground in which the project should be established.…
