Demos is an e-voting system developed by the research team of the program FINER. E-voting systems have emerged as a powerful technology for the enhancement of procedures related to macro political objectives including local, regional, national elections and referendums. The advantages of e-voting over traditional voting procedures include:
|
|
|
|
|
| the empowering of the voters by allowing them to verify themselves the election tally as well as their vote |
an increase in participation of social groups that face considerable physical barriers to participation such as the handicapped and expatriate communities |
a significant increase in the efficiency of the preparation of the election as well as in the calculation of the final results |
a significant decrease in the overall financial cost of the election and referendum processes |
