¿Y dónde está mi voto? Un análisis comparado de los efectos sociopolíticos de la introducción del voto electrónico

Abstract

The use of ict has been growing exponentially during the last decade, covering all human activities. Notwithstanding this, the use of ict to cast the vote is still —in some sense- a critical question. While some countries have adopted it due to several reasons (to reduce electoral complexity, to reflect their technological achievements or even to create democratic legitimacy), others seem to be reluctant even after having made different electoral processes —whatever public or private, binding or not. That’s the case for Spain, Mexico and Argentina, where we have made different surveys during those e-voting experiences. The paper discusses the main findings of them and tries to outline which questions are really relevant from the users’ point of view: the citizen.
