The idea of having electronic voting in Estonia gained popularity in 2001 with the "e-minded" coalition government. Estonia became the first nation to hold legally binding general elections over the Internet with their pilot project for the municipal elections in 2005. The electronic voting system withstood the test of reality and was declared a success by Estonian election officials.〔(Reports and Statistics about Internet Voting in Estonia )〕 The Estonian parliamentary election, 2007 also used internet voting, another world first.〔(Estonia to hold first national Internet election ), News.com, February 21, 2007〕 Despite praise from Estonian election officials, computer security experts that have reviewed the system have voiced sharp criticism, warning that any voting system which transmits voted ballots electronically cannot be secure.〔"Report on the Estonian Internet voting system," Sept. 3, 2011. https://www.verifiedvoting.org/report-on-the-estonian-internet-voting-system-2/〕 This criticism was underscored in May 2014 when a team of International computer security experts released the results of their examination of the system and found they could be able to breach the system, change votes and vote totals, and erase any evidence of their actions if they could install malware on the election servers.〔"Independent Report on E-voting in Estonia," https://estoniaevoting.org/〕 The independent security experts called on the Estonian government to halt all online voting, but their concerns were dismissed by the Estonian Internet Voting Committee. ==Internet voting== Although the term ''electronic voting'' (or ''e-voting'') can refer to both fixed voting locations (as in voting booths) and remote (as in over the Internet) electronic voting, in Estonia the term is used exclusively for remote Internet voting. The security model is modeled after the way in which advance voting and postal voting is handled.〔http://www.vvk.ee/public/dok/Internet_Voting_in_Estonia.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Electronic voting in Estonia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
