If e-voting is NOT currently being used, what is the current status of e-voting in general?

Senior officer at the Ministry of Justice

The provisions on electronic voting were included in the Act amending the Election Act (880/2006), which was in force until the end of 2008.

In the 2008 municipal elections, the Ministry of Justice arranged for the first time electronic elections in three municipalities: Karkkila, Kauniainen and Vihti. In these municipalities, voters were able to vote electronically at polling stations either on election day or in advance. Electronic voting, both in advance and on election day, took place in front of election authorities at the polling stations. Traditional ballot voting was also allowed. Distance voting via the Internet was not possible.
