Voting on the Internet can actually take two different forms: via an election site and remotely. Widespread adoption of online voting depends on state certification, legislation, and voter demand (voting basics). Understandably our nation will use both remote and poll methods when implementing such a system to encourage more voters to participate in our voting system. However, implementing remote voting, from your home computer, will take much longer than voting at polling stations, due to the need to certify the equipment, which will require time for the legislature to pass such a measure. Nonetheless, we are required to repeat tests of proven accuracy and public acceptance before implementing any new voting system. VoteHere.net indicates: “Voters in three counties in California and Arizona were given the opportunity to cast non-binding online ballots for the Nov. 7 presidential election in a public test of online voting,” to demonstrate their ingenuity and capacity. The results of these pilot tests at polling sites have proven positive in many areas, resulting in exit poll results from voters themselves
