The Electronic Voting System
Canadians would be issued a voting card. Similar to using a bank card at an ATM, you would simply approach a voting kiosk in a secure location, and cast your vote on the current issue. Canadians could exercise their new democratic right to vote, a few times per year.
Canadians would be issued a bar coded paper receipt upon casting a vote. Electronic and paper duplicates would be kept in secure registries. Canadians could claim tax credits, or receive a check issued during tax season. For your security, the information on scannable paper receipts beyond your name, location and date could be encoded via user selected security options.
Kiosks would be installed in every government facility open to the public, such as libraries, town halls, etc. Additionally, other kiosks would be available in many other secure public facilities, such as malls and other certified locations. Regarding transparency, regular systems and software certifications would be required to hold elections and made available for public scrutiny.
Our proposal sees an initial roll out of 150000 kiosks nationally, with expectations to increase that amount to 300000 kiosks, over 8 years. Our proposal includes and anticipates provincial and municipal jurisdictions to adopt modernized democracy and would need an electronic voting infrastructure within their legislative domains. Our proposals will not only permit, but encourage efficient modern democratic governing practices and make it accessible to all.
The electronic voting system will be created, made, managed and maintained by Canadians. Similar to the funding of our current entrenched bodies of government, budget allowances would be dedicated to ensure the continuity of function of our parliamentary bodies of governance, regardless of the ruling flavor of government of the day.
Thousands of real full time and part time jobs created, to provide salaries and a future to working Canadians. In time, our efforts will ensure a strong democratic heritage, and a truer sense of what it means to be Canadian.
