My graduation project is E-Voting over the internet and mobile....we're
currently researching different technologies for connections, load
balancing and security techniques...for reliability, security, efficiency
and effectiveness....and it will include terminals for those who do not
have internet/mobile access or those who can not read/write and we might
introduce methods for the disabled

Estonia had internet evoting since 2009 and it issued mobile evoting this
year....the US tested an internet evoting system on a small scale and it
proved reliable but it was discontinued due to political/military reasons
