Preventing online voting fraud

Concerned about the risk of fraud in electronic voting, one of our early campaigns was deploying volunteer teams of technical experts in 2007 and 2008 to produce analyses of the e-voting systems used in both trial and live elections.

We reported on the results with a comprehensive analysis of e-voting in the UK. Our report generated significant media coverage which led to greater scrutiny of e-voting in Westminster.
