The digitalized world is turning ever faster, except for politics, where digital innovations, like e-voting, are only hesitantly introduced. But what is holding back there, and why?
The digitalization of democracy is lagging behind otherwise highly digitalized societal life. Where e-banking has become daily business, nationwide e-voting in Switzerland is still in the far future. In this module, you will get to know why we still cannot vote electronically and what the reasons are for the tedious negotiations preceding the introduction of (digital) innovations.
