It will be indeed interesting to see that how they ensure that only people
from Gujrat are voating, how only one IP voats one time etc.
I guess the way is to type your voater id card no., which will prevent all
unauthorized voating.
Lets wait and lets hope to hear from our Gujrat members about their voating
experience once it gets established.

Subject: [AI] E voting in Gujarat
Times of India:
AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat government and state election commission have
decided to introduce e-voting in the next local body elections becoming
the first state in the country to enable citizens to cast their franchise
online.
"This will be for the first time in the country that in any official
election the method of online voting via internet will be used, beginning
with Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation polls scheduled in mid-October
followed by Rajkot, Vadodara, Surat, Bhavnagar and Jamnagar local body
elections," sec secretary, P H Shah said.
"A task force has been formed to cover all the aspects of e-voting headed
by state election commissioner K C Kapoor," Shah said.
Also, Gujarat's urban development department has issued a draft
notification asking for objections and suggestions on the issue last week,
he said.
"The purpose for introduction of online voting is to make affluent class
people vote, who generally avoid going to polling booths and standing in
long queues to vote. Besides, youths will be attracted to vote in this
manner," he said.
"We are planning to rope in top IT firms of the country to give end-to-end
services as it involves finer aspects like secrecy of vote, authenticity
of the voter and ensuring that no bogus voting takes place," Shah said.
