STATES OF JERSEY
PUBLIC ELECTIONS: ELECTRONIC VOTING (P.10/2016) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 17th March 2016 by the Comité des Connétable s
STATES GREFFE
2016 P.10 Com.
COMMENTS
The proposition seeks to introduce methods for electronic voter registration; and safe and secure mechanisms to enable eligible voters, who wish to do so, to vote electronically, in the 2018 elections (or "as soon as practicable" if the amendment of the Privileges and Procedures Committee is approved).
The Comité would point out that these methods, if introduced, will have implications for the computer system used to prepare the electoral registers and to administer public elections. Should the States decide to proceed with such changes, the Connétable s expect the States to provide funding to cover the cost.
The Comité also wishes to point out that the Public Elections (Jersey) Law 2002 provides for the public election of Procureurs du Bien Public and Centeniers in the Parishes, as well as members of the States Assembly.
