“The Electoral Code permits the use of electronic voting machines for municipalities with at least 3,500 inhabitants. Voting machines will be used in some 60 municipalities. While the MoI publishes technical requirements and specifications for the machines, it has no role in the verification and certification of the equipment. The OSCE/ODIHR NAM was informed that there is a moratorium on further expanding the use of the machines as well as a decision to gradually phase them out.”
Comment
Internet voting for voters from abroad was abandoned in 2017 over the security concerns.
