You've got four ideas masquerading as a single idea.
1. Voters vote online.
2. Voters vote at a time and date of their choosing. (Votes are definitively counted at the same time as now.)
3. But voters are shown the provisional totals as they vote, encouraging a herd mentality and discouraging voting based on the parties' merits.
4. Voters vote by saying they approve, disapprove, or are indifferent to each party. Parties gain a number of seats in parliament based (somehow; proportionally?) on their net approval score.
Of those, 3+4 seem like bad ideas, 1 is ok in theory but difficult in practice (must not only be secure and confidential, but easily verified by parties and the public as being secure and confidential), 2 I'm not sure about (ability to vote a bit early: good; ability to automatically cast vote in perpetuity: not so good).
Which of those do you want to talk about?
