Could E-Voting Cure Voter Apathy?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sure-can't-make-it-worth dept.

Bendebecker notes that The Register is saying that "A major trial is about to kick off in the UK that could help decide whether e-voting is merely a gimmick or whether it can genuinely help cure voter apathy." Voter Apathy or Flash Poll Elections? What is the lesser of 2 evils?

    A significant proportion of the country doesn't vote because they have little or no faith in politicians and their constant lies, double standards, corruption and inability to keep promises. Sure, clicking a button will make it easier to vote but you're stilling voting for the same distrustful candidates.

    That is why we need a "None of the above" choice on the ballot too. California tried this via referendum, but it didn't go through.
