Internet Voting: What Can Canada Learn?
The Strategic Knowledge Cluster Canada - Europe Transatlantic Dialogue (CETD) at Carleton University, is organizing a workshop entitled, Internet Voting: What Can Canada Learn? The workshop will take place in Ottawa on January 26, 2010.
In support of its commitment set out in the Strategic Plan 2008 - 2013
to increase the accessibility of the electoral process, Elections
Canada has collaborated with CETD to organize this workshop and to
prepare a research paper. The objective of the workshop is to explore
considerations and lessons learned for Canada by examining Internet
voting trials that have taken place at the municipal level in Canada
(i.e. Markham, Peterborough and Halifax) and in European jurisdictions
(i.e. Estonia, Geneva and the United Kingdom).
The workshop will further examine these trials by bringing together
technical experts, electoral practitioners from jurisdictions that have
used Internet voting, and prominent scholars who have studied
applicable models.
The workshop program can be found here.
