The authors evaluate #onlinevoting against five parameters: #cost

They conclude that, due to the levels of planning, preparation and testing needed, it is unlikely that countries that do not already have these systems in place would be able, or should attempt, to launch #onlinevoting https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📲" title="Mobile phone with rightwards arrow at left" aria-label="Emoji: Mobile phone with rightwards arrow at left">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗳️" title="Ballot box with ballot" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with ballot"> as an immediate response to a crisis like #COVIDー19 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦠" title="Microbe" aria-label="Emoji: Microbe">
I agree. As a matter of fact, there is a broad consensus that fundamental elements of #electoral #law should not be open to #amendment less than one year before an #election https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗳️" title="Ballot box with ballot" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with ballot">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗓️" title="Spiral calendar pad" aria-label="Emoji: Spiral calendar pad"> Touching upon several of these elements, #onlinevoting may need more than a full cycle to be piloted!
