Internet Voting

Also known as: E-Voting, Electronic Voting, i-Voting, Online Voting, Remote Electronic Voting

Internet voting (also known as e-voting or i-voting) is the casting and counting of votes via internet-connected systems, enabling voters to participate in elections from any location without attending a physical polling station. For accessibility, internet voting is significant because it removes barriers for voters with disabilities, those in remote communities, overseas citizens, and people who cannot easily travel to polling stations. Security challenges include ensuring vote secrecy, verifiability, coercion resistance, and the integrity of results without a trusted central authority.
