It’s time to bring online voting to the forefront of government. We’ve all seen online shopping, online dating, online banking, and online gaming. Why not online voting? It would be easy for citizens to vote from their homes or smartphones anytime-anywhere with an internet connection! Check out these five reasons why you should support an online voting program:
Online voting can increase voter turnout.
This is because it’s more convenient than traditional methods like going outside and casting a ballot on election day. The convenience comes from not having to take time off work or school and the ability to vote online from any location. Casting a ballot online allows people to have more flexibility when it comes to voting day! Voters no longer have to wait in long lines or be restricted by where they happen to live geographically. They will feel great knowing that their voice is heard even if they are unable to go out and cast a traditional ballot at polling stations.
Improve the security of elections
Since online voting is done through a secure server, online hackers would not be able to access information that could alter votes in one way or another. It offers transparency for voters because it can’t be hacked into by outside sources like with traditional ballots cast on election day at polling stations.
Reduce costs associated with voter registration
Why? Because online voting allows anyone who has an email address (which I think most people have) to make their voice heard without going out of their home and spending money on gas getting there-this saves them both time and money! Additionally, this type of program allows online voting companies to save on costs and fees and pass those savings onto voters.
The lower barriers for disabled populations
These ballots can benefit all eligible voters, not just the ones who vote in person at polling stations. People with disabilities or other difficulties that make it difficult or impossible to get out of their homes will be able to cast a vote online without any problems!
They allow for faster returns of election results.
Allowing the votes to be counted at home instead of having them shipped from polling stations will cut down on their time significantly! And that means it is easier than ever before for voters in every location- online or otherwise-to get their voices heard.
To conclude, online voting program is an excellent way for everyone in the community to have their say on who they want to lead them!
