<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I was tempted to write about my views related to internet voting. I refrained however because the municipal election was still in full flight, and I did not want to discourage anyone from casting their ballot. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But the municipal elections are over now. The people have spoken and that is the only poll that counts.  In Huntsville, 36.2% of eligible voters either made their choices through the internet or by telephone. This was slightly above the average turnout for municipal voting across Ontario, where about half voted by paper ballot and the other half on the internet or by telephone. The number of voters in other Muskoka municipalities was also pretty close to this average. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outset, let me be clear that this article is not about challenging the legitimacy of any municipal election in Muskoka or anywhere else for that matter. Obviously, everyone who voted did not all get their choices for mayor or council elected. But, when all is said and done, in Huntsville we have elected good and capable people who have the best interests of the municipality at heart, and I am sure other towns and townships in Muskoka have done the same. That is the democratic way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those that refrain from voting because they have a low regard for all politicians are only hurting themselves and endangering the democratic process. A part of one comment to my editorial last week, particularly caught my attention. \u201cVoters are likely to get dishonest, secretive, unethical, unrepresentative, and wasteful government, no matter who they vote for, and as a result, no one should be surprised to see voter turnout at such a low level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow, the cynicism here is palpable! Let\u2019s not give them a chance. Let\u2019s assume they are all a bunch of crooks out only for themselves. Let\u2019s not seek out those who we believe would do the best job because there aren\u2019t any. Surely, that is how to achieve a self-fulfilling prophecy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My own view is that the vast majority of people who stand for public office do so for the right reasons, often sacrificing family time, personal privacy, often income, and at times risking their own safety. Of course, we will not always agree with them, and we shouldn\u2019t. That is why it is important to vote. But to write people off as incompetent or dishonest, simply because they seek or achieve public office, is simply wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other end of the scale, those who allege corruption or malfeasance in elections with absolutely nothing to back it up are just sore losers if not, at times, also dangerous. They believe that elections are only legitimate if things go their way. We all know how that worked out in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right to vote is at the core of any legitimate democracy and, in my view, those that shirk that responsibility weaken and indeed threaten the democratic process. You eliminate people who do not belong in public office by voting, not by sticking your head in the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important, however, that the sanctity of voting is fully protected and that everyone has confidence in it. People have a right to know that their vote is counted, that their vote is secret, and that only those that are entitled to vote actually do so. I continue to believe that internet voting fails to meet that vitally important test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major argument for internet voting is that it is easy and convenient, and it will encourage a higher voter turnout. Certainly, it is not hard for those who use the internet, and for some, it may be more convenient. However, it clearly has not had an effect on voter turnout. Provincial elections in Ontario and federal elections are both conducted with paper ballots and in both instances, voter turnout is more than twice than at the municipal level. If internet voting is so effective, it is fair to question why both provincial and federal officials insist on a paper ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voting by paper ballot in person or by mail requires proof of residency (you have to return your ballot with proof of residency when voting by mail) and therefore proof that you are eligible to vote. Voting by internet does not require proof of current residency and therefore can easily allow people who should not be voting to vote. Voting lists are not always current, some people may have died or moved and still receive a pin in the mail. And while it is illegal for their votes to be cast by others, it is possible to do and difficult to detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, during the internet and telephone voting period officials are able to determine how many people have voted each day as well as who has voted. If they can do that, it is fair to ask if someone can also access the system to determine for whom people have voted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, traditional safeguards available with paper ballots are seriously diminished. There is little or no role for scrutineers to play, and no ability to recount the ballots in the event of a very close race.  The final results are determined by machines and the people who control them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, I believe that internet voting is riddled with potential problems including security, privacy, voter identity, and the inability of candidates to have scrutiny of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Paper ballots cast in person or by mail are, in my view, far more prone to accuracy and fairness. The Province of Ontario allows local municipalities to choose the manner in which they conduct elections. Again in my view, they need to change that and make a paper ballot, either by mail or in person, mandatory for all jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it is the right thing to do for federal and provincial elections, surely it is also the right thing to do for municipal voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
