[icernet] Ballot To Bytes: The Idea Is To Tap Young Voters

[Arul Selvan]

   If initiatives like e-government and e-parliament are engaging the 
world attention, e-election is also an online step being experimented by 
some governments. A report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) 
talks about this new drive. The internet was deployed as a significant 
election weapon for the first time in the UK in 2001, but voters hardly 
noticed it, says the report quoting the Electoral Commission. The use of 
new technology such as the Internet was expected to reverse the low 
turnout, but it is clearly yet to catch up.
