Report on the 2007 federal election electronic voting trials
In this interim report of the inquiry into the conduct of the 2007 election, the committee examines two electronic voting trials: a trial of electronically assisted voting for blind and vision impaired electors and a trial of remote electronic voting for selected Australian Defence Force personnel serving overseas. The committee recommends that electronically assisted voting for blind and vision impaired electors and remote electronic voting for Australian Defence Force personnel serving overseas be discontinued due to a combination of the unsustainable costs involved in the delivery of these solutions along with more general concerns about the low level of participation experienced during the trials and the ready availability of suitable alternate solutions.
