Abstract: Abstract The widespread diffusion of personal computers and the internet have facilitated more convenient and less expensive forms of voting. While these solutions are promising, their introduction is typically accompanied by the concerns of candidates and voters regarding the integrity of the results. Within this chapter we first discuss the benefits and disadvantages of voting machines which can be used to improve voting at the polling place. Afterwards, we analyze the opportunities and concerns related to internet voting as a replacement tool for voting per mail. Finally, we present different e-voting practices and discuss why certain countries are ahead in the development of e-voting approaches.
