<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Wash, the law has to be amended to remove legal exposures to e-Voting. Especially the confirmation of the result which has to be done on a “signed” Form 16A assuming physical nature of the form. I am not sure how this is affected by the new constitution. Having said that the IIEC has this on top of their agenda, so I suspect come 2012, e-Voting will be in place. I think its in order to congratulate the IIEC and especially their Tech team.<BR>

Over one third of polling stations failed to transmit electronically for various reasons including poor network (5,964 failed of a total of 20,750 polling stations). This would be chaos for a general election.<BR>

Being the first time it was used on a very large scale, almost a replica of a general election, I think they have done very well. They now have the information required to fine tune the system for the GE. <BR>

I had expected to vote electronically, but it appears that only the registration was electronic, where I registered, but I am not complaining.<BR>
