Abstract

Electronic voting or known as e-voting is a technology developed for voting. The use of e-voting in the general election has been widely implemented. Some countries that have successfully implemented it are India, Brazil, Estonia and the Philippines, and other countries that have unsuccessfully tried or canceled to implement it are Argentina, United States, Belgium, Canada, Japan. Mexico, France, Peru, Australia, Costa Rica, Finland, Guatemala, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Netherland, Germany, Paraguay, Norway, Switzerland and others. In this study, we tried to present countries that have successfully implemented e-voting, analyzed them, and made conclusions upon the analysis. The result of this study is that the adoption of e-voting is not only about technology. Many factors are no less important that contribute to the successful implementation of e-voting in a country, so that other countries that plan to implement e-voting in the future can learn from the success of these countries.
