Thursday, February 08, 2007 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (GMT)
Governments around the world are conducting elections using electronic voting machines, websites and even text messages. What benefits and problems have they have found? What attracts governments to evoting?
The Open Rights Group and FIPR have arranged for noted experts from Europe and the US to talk about their experiences so far, including e-voting machines hacked to play chess in the Netherlands and US problems that may have led to thousands of votes going missing in 2006's congressional elections. Confirmed speakers include:
Margaret McGaley (Ireland)
Colm MacCarthaigh
(Ireland)
Anne-Marie Oostveen (The Netherlands)
Dr Rebecca Mercuri
(USA)
Rop Gonggrijp (The Netherlands) will present a very short demonstration of how Dutch machines were hacked using a live voting machine.
Please join us for a drink afterwards at The Jeremy Bentham, 31 University Street, London WC1E 6JL.
