Online voting has been used on a significant scale in several places, including Estonia, Gujarat, and some cantons in Switzerland. I'm not an expert on how well (or poorly) these experiments have gone, but the following article contains a lot of useful information and pointers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting_examples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting_examples Estonia was apparently the first country to allow internet voting in a general election. Participation has grown rapidly, with roughly a quarter of votes in the last parliamentary election being cast online: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting_in_Estonia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting_in_Estonia This suggests that a large fraction of the population are unlikely to care about the theoretical considerations that are dominating the discussion elsewhere in this thread. Voting by mobile phone is also now legal in Estonia. The latest Python source code for the servers in the Estonian voting system is available on GitHub: https://github.com/vvk-ehk/evalimine https://github.com/vvk-ehk/evalimine Incidentally, I got a smile out of the sampling bias inherent in this poll! It would have been even funnier if the question was "Would you ever take part in an online poll?"
