The European Union and E-Voting investigates one of the latest
potential changes in the 'technology of democracy' - electronic
voting. It explores how it may impact on traditional mechanisms of
democratic participation, raising issues that go to the very core
of contemporary governance. Among the many questions tackled are
the implications of introducing e-voting for European Parliamentary
elections and its possible impact, not just on the quantity aspects
of electoral turnout but also on the quality dimension of
democratic participation. The contributors assess e-voting's
compatibility with existing legal and constitutional principles and
how to best design new online voting systems in order to ensure
both security and convenience of use. Furthermore, the prospects
for institutional innovation stemming from the introduction of
e-voting and other e-democracy techniques are also addressed.
Besides enriching the literature with new ideas at a time in which
the European integration process is entering a distinctly more
overt political phase, this volume also provides fruitful insights
for the development of e voting and e-democracy across the world.
related to the possible introduction of electronic voting for
future European Parliamentary elections. It will be of interest to
all students and researchers of elections and the European Union.
