Abstract
Description
The electoral system is paramount to the survival of democracy all over the world. Current happenings
around the world, particularly in the developing world where poor conduct of elections had left a
number of countries devastated are of great concern to world leaders. Therefore, efforts are ongoing to
introduce a voting system that is transparent, convenient and reliable. This chapter presents an overview
of an integrated electronic voting (e-Voting) system comprising: the electronic voting machine (EVM),
Internet voting (i-Voting) and mobile voting (m-Voting). Similarly, issues of interoperability of the integrated
system are discussed as well as the needed security measures. It is however recommended that
emphasis be directed at EVM for use within the country while others are restricted to special cases of
remote voting for citizens living abroad or living with certain deformities.
