Ireland abandons e-voting...for now

Margaret McGaley has been in touch to say that the Irish government has abandoned plans to use e-voting equipment in the upcoming local and European elections. The decision comes in the wake of an adverse report from the Irish Independent Commission on Electronic Voting.

"The commission emphasises that its conclusion is not based on any finding that the system will not work, but on the finding that it has not been proven at this time to the satisfaction of the commission that it will work," says the report.
