Thank you for the question.
To start to respond, I'd like to say that electronic voting machines are very different from Internet voting. You typically see the two conflated. People point to the 2000 election and what happened there as an argument against Internet voting.
I'm not here today to necessarily advocate for Internet voting or say that it has to be implemented. My view is that our political institutions are modernizing, and if we don't see Internet voting now, we're going to see technology in other aspects of elections. The United States is a great example, because it is a country that has been extremely cautious, yet you see 32 states now using the Internet for voter registration, and it is having a great impact. I think we'll see the technology creeping into voters' lists and into registration, and we already see it in ballot tabulation in a lot of areas.
I think it's important for the government to flag this, put it on their radar, and start doing research now so that maybe in five or 10 years, when you decide that maybe it is time to implement it, the framework will be in place and it's not a rushed process. In the U.K. in particular, they really tried to rush their trials and pilots and it didn't work out well for them.
