ABSTRACT
Paper-based elections are costly and time consuming to run and results are often delayed. Another worrying worldwide trend is the low turnout of voters. Postal voting has been tried for some elections. The Internet offers a new means of conducting votes. It is potentially less costly and results will be available at the close of polls. However there are a number of issues such as uniqueness and verifiability of the vote. This paper examines some of these issues. Students prepared prototype election systems to test the feasibility of online elections, then answered a questionnaire based on their perception of such a system and how the population would accept it.
