The new lebanese party decided to launch a campaign to enlighten the younger generation and the expatriates about the importance of urging our government to pass the electronic election law (e-voting). It is our right to have the opportunity to terminate the role of the corrupt traditional political leaderships and pave the way for professional and educated young lebanese people to take part in politics, make a change, and save our country.
Electronic voting
Electronic voting (also known as e-voting) is voting that uses electronic means to either aid or take care of casting and counting votes. Three different forms of electronic voting can be distinguished:
Electronic voting at polling sites in which the voters cast their vote via the Internet from client devices that are physically located in the official polling places, and in which the client’s hardware and software are subject to the control of election officials, and voter identities may be verified by traditional means. Electronic voting in kiosks – in which the voters cast their votes through client devices, in which the hardware and software are subject to the control of election officials, but they are distributed in public places (shopping centers etc.), and in which the physical environment and the process of verifying voters’ identities are not subject to the direct supervision of officials. Remote electronic voting, neither the client agencies nor the physical environment are subject to the supervision of election officials. While the first two methods are undoubtedly more secure, their advantages are not much greater than those of traditional voting methods. The “attractiveness” of voting entirely online is only achieved in systems in which users can document themselves and vote at the time they see fit via Internet stations in the home, workplace or public space. Unfortunately, this is how it poses the greatest and most dangerous security risk
Electronic voting technology speeds up the process of counting ballot papers and can also achieve increased voting turnout by making it easier for voters who are not present at the polling stations.

The obvious advantage of Internet voting is the convenience this system provides to the electorate. No matter how well the polling stations are designed and distributed, there is no better place to vote than one’s home. When electoral participation is so easy that it only requires logging into a website, selecting a few checkboxes on an online form, and clicking the “vote” button, then there is likely to be a noticeable improvement in voting turnout, and thus legitimacy. This system may also allow for significant savings in the costs of deploying and operating actual polling stations, if the “adoption rate” of the electronic voting system is sufficient. Sorting and sorting electronic ballot papers is much faster and easier than sorting traditional paper or even scanned or punched cards, which can also achieve significant cost savings.
The potential benefits of electronic voting must be weighed against the risks to which this system is exposed. As has been emphasized on more than one occasion, elections, regardless of the means by which they are conducted, should adhere to the same basic principles of confidentiality, integrity, accuracy, and transparency.
Every voting system, whether it uses paper and pen, punched cards, touch screen (direct electronic recording), or any other means, must ensure that voters are accurately identified and their votes counted accurately. In most cases this should be done without leaving any room for linking a particular vote to a particular voter. It is also essential that citizens have confidence in the results. In other words, it is not only necessary for the system chosen to be compatible with these basic requirements, but also to do so in a clear and well-understood manner for all participants. Each voting system should enjoy the same degree of confidentiality, integrity, accuracy, and transparency as any well-managed ballot system that relies on the use of paper and pen:
“Indeed, if the elections were held by perfect officials and using ballot papers, this would represent the best possible model for the general election. These elections would guarantee, for example: anonymity (which prevents collusion and coercion) and secret (all votes remain unknown until the end Elections) and at the same time they will be correct (all votes are counted) and fair (no one can vote twice or change someone else’s vote), and often also complete (all voters must either vote or justify their absence). Likewise, if we know the voter (for example, during voter registration) we cannot know his vote and if we know the vote (for example, during the count) then we cannot know the voter. Both verifiable and unknown. ”
Therefore, any voting system that relies entirely on electronic voting must take into account the need to maintain the accuracy of the vote count, in the absence of any physical representation of the voting process.
