- Elections Canada drops plan for online voting due to cuts
- Paper ballots will be the only choice, but a new report reveals multiple errors with them, By Leslie MacKinnon, CBC News, April 30, 2013. "Elections Canada has abandoned plans to experiment with an online voting pilot project before the 2015 general election due to budget cuts. Elections Canada also has concerns about the security of online voting, but a new report indicates that voting irregularities happen frequently at polling stations on voting day even when paper ballots are used. A spokesperson for Elections Canada said Tuesday that experiments with online voting are postponed "for the long term," and the reasons for the delay are due to an eight per cent budget cut that took effect this year, translating into a loss of $7.5 million per year. A plan to try out online voting in a federal byelection sometime before 2015 has been quashed..."

- Online ballots are a vote for democracy
- by Nick Bilton. The Age, November 12, 2012. "An app that would let people vote from home should be a top priority. Last Tuesday, millions of Americans stood in long lines to cast their votes. While they waited, sometimes for several hours, many used their smartphones to pass the time. Some read articles about the election. Others updated their Twitter or Instagram feeds with pictures of the lines at the polls. And some took care of more private tasks, like sharing health information with their doctors, reading and editing confidential work documents, or paying bills and transferring money using banking applications..."

- Why You Can't Vote Online
- Fundamental security problems aren't solved, computing experts warn, By David Talbot. MIT Technology Review, November 5, 2012. "A decade and a half into the Web revolution, we do much of our banking and shopping online. So why can't we vote over the Internet? The answer is that voting presents specific kinds of very hard problems. Even though some countries do it and there have been trial runs in some precincts in the United States, computer security experts at a Princeton symposium last week made clear that online voting cannot be verifiably secure, and invites disaster in a close, contentious race..."

Voting Technology Project - CalTech - MIT, 18 October, 2012. "...

- The state of the U.S. election system
- New report from MIT and Caltech notes gains in voting-machine technologies, but warns they could be cancelled out by errors introduced through mail and Internet voting. Peter Dizikes, MIT News Office, October 18, 2012. "When it comes to the integrity and accuracy of voting systems in the United States, the good news is that widespread technological upgrades have largely eliminated the voting-machine problems that were so evident when Florida's disputed recount determined the 2000 presidential election. The bad news is that some of those improvements in accuracy could be undermined by increases in early voting through the mail, which is turning out to be a relatively low-accuracy method of voting, according to a new research report released by MIT and the California Institute of Technology..."

- Credibility of democracy put at risk by online voting
- By Cristian Worthington, Vancouver Sun, August 17, 2012. "Chief electoral officer Keith Archer has announced the formation of a panel of experts to investigate whether British Columbia should adopt Internet voting. Let's hope the panel focuses on the big picture before getting bogged down with technical details. Our democracy is built on the assurance of a secret ballot and the principle that one person gets only one vote..."

- Electronic voting and counting
- Elections ACT, 5 July 2012. "The ACT's electronic voting system is the first of its kind to be used for parliamentary elections in Australia. The electronic voting system was used at the 2008 election in 5 locations in Canberra’s main town centres. The electronic voting system will be used again at the 2012 election in selected locations. The ACT's electronic voting system was first used at the October 2001 election and was again used at the October 2004 election. The system uses standard personal computers as voting terminals, with voters using a barcode to authenticate their votes. Voting terminals are linked to a server in each polling location using a secure local area network. No votes are taken or transmitted over a public network like the Internet..."
