Comment

Some tests of online voting took place in 2012 (iVote.lt). The Justice Ministry says that Lithuanians should make their first online vote in the 2019 elections to local governments. However, security concerns have been expressed by the government regarding online voting. According to the article, "Lithuanian president: Online voting wouldn't ensure secrecy and security", "Lithuania's President Dalia Grybauskaite says that online voting in the country would fail to ensure confidentiality and security. "In light of the geopolitical realities and seeing the enormous resources earmarked to cyber attacks against democratic countries, we can conclude that online voting would be short on confidentiality and security. This would possibly violate the requirement of anonymity," Grybauskaite said in a comment to BNS via her press service."
