The Electoral Commission is pushing a host of new technological innovations for a new generation of voters in the upcoming elections set to take place on 1 November 2021.
But the fact elections have been around and the basis system of voting hasn’t changed too much in thousands of years doesn’t mean there is no room for innovation and technological advances! The IEC is currently taking delivery of 40 000 new generation devices which it believes will significantly enhance the speed, accuracy and integrity of the voter registration and participation process.
Their use goes beyond voter registration, however. Crucially on election day, the devices will provide access to a real-time voters’ roll which will allow election officials to detect if any voter has already presented themselves at a voting station to vote. This should put paid to any lingering concerns about possible double voting.
