A lot more needed to make evoting work


EXPERTS are divided about using electronic voting (evoting) in Malaysian elections, with some citing the risks and stressing that public confidence must be won first.

Some say evoting is good and possible with blockchain technology, while others believe it is best to stick with the tried and true paper ballot. This is because although ballot papers are still at risk of being manipulated, it would be on a smaller scale compared with online votes, which could be severely compromised by cyberattacks.
