Alternative Voting Systems Discussion

We had a small but lively panel at eDemocracy Camp on Sunday.

Here is a quick summary of the questions we asked:

  • What voting system(s) do you prefer?
  • What criteria are important in voting systems?
  • How to pick a voting system to match your particular situation?
  • What voting system alternatives should be considered for a petition process?
  • Where might innovation in voting systems come from: grassroots, city elections, primaries…?
  • How can we create e-voting systems that also guarantee a secret ballot?
  • If the public is going to trust a voting system, must it be open source? How important is it to verify the source code? How important is it to verify the ballot data?
  • What third-party voting systems exist on the Web?
  • How can transparency be designed into a voting system?
