Extra posting/If we were to vote through the Internet, would there be any problems?/Bae Sae A



If we were to vote through the Internet, would there be any problems?

First, it is a technical problem. There is a high possibility of hacking or rigging the voting results. It is also possible to steal and vote proxy. This could undermine the principles of direct and secret elections. Prevention of hacking and server stability should be supplemented. The second is an operational problem. There is a controversy over how to respond automatically. There is also a problem with the information gap. The elderly or underprivileged who lack Internet access may be excluded. Only the votes of certain people will be reflected in the results. There are also problems of freedom and fairness. At the polling stations, monitoring is done. But if you vote on the Internet, there is no surveillance. Private spaces without supervision could create situations of intimidation and coercion. Then, free voting is impossible. Also, if there is a purchase, there is no fairness. We need to ensure fairness and freedom through legal protection and monitoring of private spaces.
But nonetheless, Internet voting has many advantages. It seeks to strengthen representative democracy by increasing civic engagement, especially by young people. It will be beneficial for us to improve and supplement the problems of Internet voting.
