@IFES1987 has published a paper on #Internet #Voting: An Overview for Electoral Decision-Makers, to assist #election stakeholders in determining whether #onlinevoting would improve electoral #integrity and active #democracy 
IMHO, it is worth exploring it in detail 
https://twitter.com/IFES1987/status/1247517212426022912
The authors evaluate #onlinevoting against five parameters: #cost 
, #participation 
, #efficiency 
, #trust 
, and #security 
Against these parameters, they provide an overview of case studies and existing literature to help decision-makers "ask the right questions" 
, #participation , #efficiency , #trust , and #security Against these parameters, they provide an overview of case studies and existing literature to help decision-makers "ask the right questions"
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 as an immediate response to a crisis like #COVIDー19

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 
Touching upon several of these elements, #onlinevoting may need more than a full cycle to be piloted!

For those electoral administrations who may start considering #onlinevoting now , possibly as a result of the current #COVIDー19 #pandemic , it may be worth taking into account some additional resources 
Here comes a reading list on #Internet #voting for the Easter break!
