Online voting has the potential to future-proof elections and increase access to democracy for the most marginalised people in society but faces significant challenges on the grounds of trust and security. Will it ever happen?
We discussed this question with Professor Mark Ryan (Computer Security, University of Birmingham), Max Beverton-Palmer (Head of Internet Policy, Tony Blair Institute for Global Change), Rebecca Ogbonna and Charlotte McMillan (Royal Society for Blind Children’s Youth Forum), and Areeq Chowdhury (WebRoots Democracy).
This discussion took place during the WebRoots Democracy Festival in November 2020.
