key to future elections Pihi Chyn compared with the ballot Box Boondoggle in the United last mondays Federal election makes Canada look like a Model of democratic with Only a very Small handful of recounts to come none critical to the Overall election result canadians can take Comfort in their ability to chose a government and its leaders in a timely with a whole lot less hassle than they can in the great democracy to the but before we All Start feeling too smug about our Fine electoral there is one reality of last weeks vote for which we can not hold our collective National Heads too when All the numbers were in within hours of poll closing actual we discovered that once again canadians stayed away from the ballot boxes in record elections Canada reports on its web site that Only per cent of eligible voters showed up to cast their ballots last it was the lowest turnout in 75 and continues a trend that has been Evi Dent for the turnout in the june 1997 election was 67 per the apathetic party seems to have a lot of supporters in and if the number of Vot ers continues to plummet this an elected government will not be a True representation of the wishes of All it seems that Many of us just cant be both ered to make the trek Down to the local school or Community Hall to cast our elections Canada says canadians were eligible to vote last but Only of us chose to exercise the so what can be done to improve electoral participation and break this pattern of voter Apa thy How about just voting from Home or of with 73 per cent of canadians predicted to be online by a logical alternative to Cumber some and expensive i person voting would be to cast our ballots via the it would be and not susceptible to problems of lost or spoiled there were rejected ballots in last mondays issues of Security arid voter authentication have to be but the idea is Worth Steve Baker is one Canadian who believes voting via the internet is not Only but and he believes it is the Only Way to combat voter Baker is president and ceo of Otta abased an internet technology and Secu Rity in an interview yesterday he said he has already contacted Canadas chief elec toral Jeanpierre asking for a meeting to explore Interne based voting in As Chrysalis its is putting together a panel of encryption and Security leaders to explore online working with govern ment this panel Hopes to define guide lines for the implementation of a modern electronic balloting system that will be free from compromising and on the panel Are Industry giants entrust and planet the Sun Mic Rosys tems netscape the Model developed by the panel on online voting systems would provide the highest level of Security and voter authentication Mecha greatly enhancing voter participation while reducing or eliminating spoiled Baker i think it has to he but first we have to convince the he is under no illusion that a switch to inter net voting will come we Are talking about the introduction of a completely different Way of this kind of change will always meet with he pointed to a couple of trials in California and Arizona were electronic voting was actually tested during the recent elec voters in three counties were Given the Opportunity to cast nonbinding online ballots for the 7 presidential see the web site at for details of those according to the mechanism for set Ting up a secure electronic election sys tem is fairly we have the As they under the Baker each voter would be Given a unique digital an electronic when they Are registered to this virtual id would be used when casting bal lots on election but that vote could be cast from anywhere on the anything that is connected to the internet becomes a polling he Baker is enough of a realist to know that not All canadians would feel comfortable voting on and that Many would still want to cast their ballots in the traditional but make no we live with a new generation of voters who Are very comfortable Baker said it is appropriate that the country with the highest rate of internet connectivity in the should become the first country in the world to adopt online electronic but first Baker has to convince Canadas politicians that his is a better Given the fiasco in he does have some convincing arguments on his 2 the Advance camcorders capturing the special moments Sony 8mm camcorder Sony video 8 or with 25 cd seven 200x digital zoom
