I had this idea of Mobile voting with me for couple of years.But with times it was erasing off my brain cells then i was a internet servey done my VeriSign.
The servey predicts --- that mobile devices could be used for voting purposes in the U.S. by 2012. And thats exciting.
I give my vote to this survey and feel if the mobile community comes together towards this cause its pretty much achievable in that timeframe.
Just imagine the level of comfort and accuracy this system can bring .
considering its appication in INDIAN context ,it can do wonders .As of my knowledge the average turnaround for voting in india is ~60.
The reason for this % is that most of the High Midle call and High Call dont bother to comeout of there comfort zone and visit the Poll Boths .
But with this technology and voting machine at your fingure tips we can expect an significant rise in voting %.It might be as high as ~80-85%.
And i hope this technology will be equaly usefull in other parts of world.
But yes there are challenges too of Bogus voting ,Spams and security.
