Belgians take a closer look at Internet voting

Internet voting was the topic of discussions at the e-Governance Academy on March 15 and 16, as the Academy hosted work meetings for a team organised by the Belgian Federal Public Service of Foreign Affairs. The Belgian authorities are investigating the possibility to introduce a system of Internet voting for those Belgian citizens living abroad. To achieve this, however, firm choices need to be made and a clear project track needs to be established. The Belgian team had already before gathered experiences from different countries, and came to Estonia to find out exactly what makes the Estonian system a success. To this end, in-depth discussions were organised with several Estonian experts.
