| Title | ADAPTING ELECTION OBSERVATION METHODOLOGY TO THE OBSERVATION OF E-VOTING, THE BIRTH of "E-OBSERVERS" |
| Summary | Abstract An increasing number of countries use or plan to use different electronic voting methods and technologies. Issues of transparency, verifiability, security and certification of e-voting systems are keenly debated among experts, academics and electoral bodies alike. These issues are also having an impact on international observer organisations, who are facing challenges with the observability of e-voting and the need to tailor their traditional observation methodology to the observation of e-voting. In order to identify the most pressing issues and challenges in the adaptation of observation methodology to e-voting, this paper maps e-voting trends and provides an overview of the framework for the observation of e-voting. The paper also reflects on the findings of three EU Election Observation Missions (Venezuela 2005, 2006, and Bhutan 2008) to assess the degree to which these missions were able to adopt their traditional observation methodology to the e-voting challenge. |
