The challenges of e-voting

Abstract

In our paper we present a research framework, how the concept of evoting, as a complex info-communication technology innovation can potentially create social trust on an institutional level and political cohesion on a national level. In the centre of our argument will be the observation that the fluid borders between citizenship and nationality combined with mobility of inhabitants increase the demand for innovative voting solution supporting national elections. Also by developing this multifaceted research agenda we may find useful theoretical contribution to the field of e-democracy in general.
