Honolulu became the first American city to run an all-digital election last week, allowing voters to cast their ballots online or over the phone for neighborhood board members. The 115,000 eligible voters can also use laptop computers at polling sites, but mail-in ballots are no longer an option in this year's election, which is running from May 6 to May 22. The city previously experimented with online voting in 2007, and budgetary concerns appear to have pushed them towards using it exclusively this time around: The city claims it is saving more than $100,000 in mailing costs by going digital. "If you look at the world as it is today, people are looking for different ways to do business in a bad economy," said Lori Steele, CEO of Everyone Counts, the firm running the election for Honolulu. While officials aren't releasing turnout figures yet to avoid influencing the election, Steele said voters are opting for the online ballot over the telephone option by a 2-to-1 margin. The number of votes cast online already exceeds the total from 2007 with more than a week of voting remaining. -- David Herbert

No, it's a very bad idea. Electronic voting can't be trusted, and it destroys the secret ballot. There is no way of knowing that a vote was cast as a free choice, and there is no way for people without specialized technical knowledge to scrutinize the counting process. Essentially the counting mechanism is a black box, you don't know whether the final vote tally is a true reflection of the actual votes cast, or whether they were just made up.

Interesting.. I guess everybody should embrace this kind of idea, electronic voting is fast and time saving and at the same time, even if you're anywhere, you can still vote using your PC or even cellphones..
