Govt planning new tests on controversial e-voting machines
02/06/2005 - 09:32:58The Government is reportedly planning further tests on its controversial electronic voting machines in the hope of introducing them at the next General Election.
The machines were used on a trial basis at the last election, but were subsequently withdrawn due to concerns about their secrecy and security.
Reports this morning said the Department of the Environment was now seeking consultants to carry out new security tests and risk assessments in the hope of resurrecting the e-voting plans.
