Conclusion This
paper has discussed the pros and cons of Internet voting. Currently the
greatest obstacles to larger scale implementation of Internet voting are
security issues, such as voter identification, hacking and ballot secrecy.
Furthermore, I have argued that Internet voting is not the miracle cure
to all that is wrong with modern democracies. In fact, its potential positive
effects on democracy depend on where and why it is introduced. I have looked
at three different settings for Internet voting. In the EU student Vote
Project Internet voting will help to create democracy where there formerly
was none. This project is interesting because it is aimed at addressing
the democratic deficit in the EU. In the United States Internet voting
will help to legitimize the election process and make voting procedures
more uniform. In Sweden, Internet voting will not really change anything
if it is introduced in national elections. Sweden would have to address
the design of its political processes in order to create more opportunities
for citizens to participate
