UNE PhD candidate Phillip Zada recently launched Mobile Voting as a public awareness campaign to identify and address the possibility of implementing a successful mobile internet e-voting platform for Australian elections.
Mr Zada said the research team had tremendous success with the launch of the Mobile Voting campaign and were very excited about the next phase of the research.
“We have devised a quick, 21-question survey that is available online and by post,” he said.
“The survey responses will enable our research team to set a baseline from which to continue our research.
“We believe this research to be an integral part of understanding what will be involved to introduce a mobile e-voting platform in Australia.”
Mr Zada said that, with the state election trial of the iVote system, they believed it was the best time to gauge the public’s opinion on the concept.
Mr Zada’s supervisor, Associate Professor Paul Kwan, said the technology already existed that could make mobile internet e-Voting a reality, but it was still critical to increase people’s awareness and gauge their perceptions for this alternate voting measure.
The anonymous survey will run until April 30.
