| Sumario: | This paper examines the convenience of incorporating Internet voting from a theoretical points of view and comparative law. It distinguishes the concepts of electronic voting, postal voting and Internet voting. The main arguments for and against Internet voting in the comparative literature are also analysed. I follow the analysis of other forms of absentee voting, in particular voting by mail that is the most common modality of absentee voting and share problems and advantages with Internet voting. It is concluded that the introduction of Internet voting does not present serious problems to the integrity of the electoral process but it has the potential to transform some of the characteristics of the practice of elections as we know them. |
