„I think this is not even a question for the would-be Government, this is in fact a question for future generations,“ Šimonytė told reporters in parliament on Thursday.
„After all, the main issue is the issue of security. As long as this question is not answered 100 percent, that this is 100 percent secure – confidential and secure – experiments in this area would be simply dangerous for democracy,“ said Šimonytė.
The prime minister added that so far it is impossible to guarantee the security of online voting and preserve voter confidentiality.
According to her, online banking is secure but users are identified by name, surname and personal code, which is normal. However, she notes that this would be abnormal in elections.
Moreover, she believes that people who are motivated to vote come to the polls anyway.
The Central Electoral Commission (VRK) presented a feasibility study on online voting and recommended postponing its implementation.
