As the 1,162 voters in this Swiss village cast their ballots in a local referendum, more is at stake than simply a taxpayer-funded renovation of a high-end restaurant. This Geneva suburb is making Swiss history with the country’s first legally binding Internet vote. Polling day for those who want to vote by marking a ballot paper in a booth in the local school is January 19. Voters can also vote by mail, as more than 90 percent of voters have done in previous referendums.
We want it here (US), too! It might help increase voter turn out.
