E-Voting in Pakistan

E-Voting in Pakistan

Electronic voting is usually seen as a means for making the

electoral process more resourceful. E-voting solutions can
amplify the safety of the ballot; boost up the dispensation of
results and make voting easier.
Types of E-Voting:
Direct Recording Electronics (DRE) E-voting which is
actually administrated by representatives of governmental or
independent electoral establishment e.g. electronic voting
machines located at polling stations. Distant e-Voting voting is
performed within the voter's solitary power, and is not
physically administrated by governmental authorities e.g. voting
from one's PC, cell phone, TV via the internet (also called evoting or Remote E-Voting)

Restricted Environments Seen as the electronic corresponding

of customary paper-based voting in polling stations, Unrestricted
Environments occurs without any direction and from voting
devices that cannot be restricted by the election administration.

Weaknesses that Pakistan not overcome

Need of simplicity
