Malaysian Election Commission mulls e-voting for GE15
L33tdawg: Such a bad idea it's not even funny. Here's why. I guess it's time for Rop and Hari to make a trip to Malaysia.
THE Election Commission (EC) is studying the possibility of implementing electronic voting (e-voting) to cater to an estimated 22 million voters in the next general election.
Suggestions of an online voting system came up following the recent changes to the country’s voting laws. India, which is the world’s largest democracy, is among four countries in the world that have implemented e-voting in their elections along with Brazil, Estonia and Venezuela.
EC chairman Azhar Azizan Harun said the commission is in the middle of engaging with the Indian EC on their e-voting practices. “We are looking at it. We have seen demonstrations and I have also engaged with the Indian EC. “I was in Cambridge, UK, recently where I met Indian EC members. In fact, I have requested further input from them,” he told The Malaysian Reserve recently.
