E-Stonian E-Vote a Success

Despite a low E-Voter turnout, Election officials in Estonia are hailing the first ever E-Vote a success.

Last week, Estonia became the first country in the world to hold an election allowing voters nationwide to cast ballots over the Internet.

Fewer than 10,000 people, or 1 percent of registered voters, participated online in elections for mayors and city councils across the country, but officials hailed the experiment as a success.

Election officials in the country of 1.4 million said they had received no reports of flaws in the online voting system or hacking attempts.
