Observable Elections
--------------------
Vipul Ved Prakash <mail @ vipul.net>
November 2004
This is an interesting time for electronic voting. India,
the largest democracy in the world, went completely paper-
free for its general elections earlier this year. For the
first time, some 387 million people expressed their
electoral right electronically. Despite initial concerns
about security and correctness of the system, the election
process was a smashing success. Over a million electronic
voting machines (EVMs) were deployed, 8000 metric tonnes of
paper saved[1] and the results made public within few hours
of the final vote. Given the quarrelsome and heavily
litigated nature of Indian democracy, a lot of us were
expecting post-election drama, but only a few, if any,
fingers were found pointing.
Things didn't fare so well in the United States.
