Mobile Voting a Reality

December 14th, 2008 MobileFreak

As those of you following us on Twitter may have already seen, the Estonian parliament passed a law Thursday allowing voters to vote by mobile phone. The law will be in effect for the country’s 2011 parliamentary elections.

Here in the States, we cannot seem to pull off an election using basic touch screens or even paper voting cards. And except for absentee ballots, the large majority of voters must be present to vote. I cannot imagine the day the U.S. tries push this concept through.

Estonia must not have as many lawyers as we do.

What do you think? Good idea or bad? Will it fly in your country?
