Sommario/riassunto

Voting Online investigates the effects of cyber elections by looking at how adoption of online voting affects attitudes towards democracy, who uses and who benefits from the voting mode, the extent to which candidates support it, and what factors election administrators consider when deciding to adopt it. The authors provide important lessons for all interested in the health of democratic societies.
