The Canadian Press Updated Fri. Jun. 26 2009 10:14 PM ET OTTAWA -- Allowing Canadians to vote electronically may be the remedy for the ever-dwindling percentage of voters who bother to exercise their democratic rights, Elections Canada suggests. In a report released late Friday, the independent electoral watchdog says it will push this fall for legislative changes that would allow it to implement online registration of voters. And it wants parliamentary approval to conduct an electronic voting test-run in a byelection by 2013. Full story from CTV. Canada has it so much better than the United States when it comes to our voting procedures. By studying the way the United States has used this technology we can learn a lot and avoid some very dangerous issues. Black Box Voting is a group of citizens in the United States that expose a lot of the problems. No matter how good they try to make these machines they will always be subject to attack.
